Dear Parents,

The first grade continues to learn a lot of Hebrew and Hebrew songs.

First grade was amazing when they sang their two Hebrew songs welcoming the special guests on the “Special Person day” on Monday. I’m know you where proud of them when they performed!

I am so proud of them!

Hebrew workbook:

This week we have almost finished our workbook “Mai’ot leot” Part 3!  We reviewed the Aleph-Bet letter names with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Resh. We also focused on the Final letters: “Pay sofit” and “Tzadi sofit”. We practiced writing words and we learned when to use the final letters.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “חיי שרה” (Haye Sara). We learned that Sarah died when she was 127 years old and Avraham bought the Ma’arat HaMachpela to bury her. We learned that the word “Ma’ara” means “cave”. We also learned that there are four couples buried there: Adam and Chava, Avraham and Sarah, Yitzchok and Rivkah, Yaakov and Leah. We also learned that Avraham sent Eliezer to find a wife for his son Yitzchok. Eliezer took 10 “gimalim” (“Gamal” means “camel”) and went to Charan, Avraham’s birthplace, to find one. There he finds Rivkah at a well.

Prayer

This week we started to learn the first few lines in the following prayers: “Baruch Shamar”, “Ashrey” and “Anim zemirot”

Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.
