צו 2018 שבת לפני פסח


בס"ד
3.23.2018

Dear Parents,
We are very busy getting ready for Passover.
This week, we continued learning about “Pesach” (Passover). We almost finished making our own interactive Haggadot. (I will sent it home B”H on Tusday).
 We have reviewed the entire order of the Seder night as written in the Haggadah. We learned the names of the ten plagues in Hebrew and English. We also learned the four names for Passover as well as the names of the four sons mentioned in the Haggadah.  We also learned that the four cups of wine we drink at the Seder stand for the four different languages for redemption. Of course, there is still more to learn! We will be spending a lot of time over the next week learning all the laws and customs surrounding the Seder night and Pesach.

Ariot:
This week Ariot is going to Arye’s home.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:"גילה שואלת מה נשתנה" -“Gilah is asking “Ma Nishtanah””
Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend .It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned.

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat :  צו"
This Friday we learned about the 2 jobs that the Kohanit does today since we don't have "BEt-Hamikdas" (The holy temple).

Vocabulary words:
It is a short week, so there are no vocabulary words.

Shabbat Shalom

ויקרא 2018


בס"ד
3.16.2018

Dear Parents,
We can feel Pesach in the air!

Passover:
This week, we continued learning about “Pesach” (Passover).
 We have reviewed the entire order of the Seder night as written in the Haggadah. 

What’s in the box?
This week we almost finished Ariot 3 workbook.
 We read the story called “Dan Ve Dina naganim” (The story is about children named Dan and Dina who play musical instruments). I brought to the class my own musical instrument in a big box. I asked the children to guess what musical instrument was in the box and no one was able to guess correctly!  (Ask your child what instrument it was or flip the page and look at the picture.). I explained what the instrument was and I played some songs the students knew. We concluded with the “Hatikvah”.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:"יש חמץ?" - “Yesh Hametz?” (Is there a “Hametz”?).
It is a story about finding the Hametz with a special helper. (The “Tuki”- parrot).
Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend. It is a great way to practice.

Ariot: 
This week Ariot is going to Elianna’s home. 

Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :ויקרא"”. We learned that the Jews brought Korbanot because the process of bringing a korban helped them become close to Hashem.



Vocabulary:
We are continuing with our two week Passover’s  word list.
The test will be on Thursday  3/22/18.

ויקהל פקודי


בס"ד
3-9-2018
Dear parents,
This week, we started learning about “Pesach” (Passover). 
We were very busy making our own Haggadadot. Each of us will bring one home before Pesach. 
We learned that there are four names for Passover and the reason for each name. Of course, there is still a lot to learn! We will be spending a lot of time over the next few weeks learning all the laws and customs surrounding the Seder night and Pesach. 

Ariot: 
This week Ariot is going to Esther’s home. 

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:"  “Boker tov Bina Ve Dov” (Good morning Bina and Dov).
 Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend .It is a great way to practice all the body parts vocabulary we have learned.

Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat : "ויקהל פקודי" We reviewed all the various vessels that are in the Mishkan and we learned that Bezalel was the one appointed by Hashem to build the Mishkan. We also learned that Moshe first warned them to keep the Shabbat before giving them the commandment to build the Mishkan. This told the Jewish People that even though the building of the Mishkan was important the still must rest on Shabbat are recognize that Hashem created the world.

Shabbat Shalom

כי תשא

Dear Parents,
Our Purim celebration yesterday was a big success! We had so much “simcha” (happiness) all day! We wore costumes, we saw an amazing performance of the Megilah story by the 6th grade (thank you for 6th  grade students & Moreh Dror). We played games in the Purim carnival. At the end of the day, we received Mishloach Manot " 
משלוח מנות" The whole day was such fun!

The Story of Purim
On Wednesday I sent our Megillah.
 I’m sure you will agree that your child’s effort and learning is outstanding and I know you share in my pride.

Ariot:
This week Ariot is going to Avi‘s home.

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:""מִשְלוֹחַ מָנוֹת מֵאֲרִיאוֹת -Mishloach Manot  from Ariot.
Please encourage your child to read the books aloud to you over the weekend. It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned and will learn.

Passover:
This week, we will start learning about “Pesach” (Passover). We will start making our own Haggadadot. Each of us will bring one home before Pesach.

Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :כי תשא"” we learned about the Mitzvah of giving a “Machtzet Hashekel” (1/2 shekel coin) to the Bait HaMikdash so they can count how many people there are in Bnei Yisrael . Ask your child to tell you why ½ and not whole Shekel? We learned that the Kohanim used this money to buy animals for the daily Korban (sacrifice) that was brought every morning and afternoon. We also reviewed the story of the “Aigel Hazahav” or the sin of the golden calf. Have your child tell you the story!
