Dear Parents,
This week started with a cookie as a treat for “Rosh Chodesh “Nisan” !

Hebrew Sentence of the week:
בבקשה לסדר את ...!"”- Bevakasha Lesader Et… (Please clean up the… or please put things in order)

We learned that the first night of Pesach is called “Lel Haseder”  because you have to do all the Mitzvot of the night in a certain order.

Pictures:

I’m still missing pictures from 7 families.

Chai Club:

We have started our “Chai Club” and it has already been a great success! We already have students that have finished reading 5 books! (If you don’t know what the “Chai Club” is you can go to my blog at: morahirit.blogspot.com)  If you want your child to participate you must follow the following rules:

1. A student must read the entire book out loud to an adult before returning the book back to school.

2.  A student does not have to read the book in one day!  Once he/she finishing reading the book, he/she must return it to me.  I will give him/her a new book then.

3 Parent must sign the slip that is attached the book.  If there is no slip of paper, please sign on any piece of paper and send it back with you student. A book which doesn’t include a slip with a real parent signature will not be accepted!

4. I will only send home one book at a time!

I hope you will encourage your child to participate in the Chai club in order to help your child improve your child’s Hebrew reading skills. With your help and support we can make a real difference in your child’s Hebrew reading!

Ariot 3: This week 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 only one student was able to guess correctly!  (Ask your child what instrument it was!). I explained what the instrument was and I played some songs the students knew.   We concluded with the “Hatikvah”.

Passover:

This week, we continued learning about “Pesach” (Passover). We have almost finished making our own interactive Haggadot. I will e-mail you the date when it will be coming home before Pesach. Please make sure to look for it then!

Prayers:

We add the second part of “Alenu Leshabeach” (“Al ken nekave”) to our daily prayers).

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat :מצורע""
This Friday we learned more about – לשון הרע"“  "Lashon hara” . We learned to speak only nice things about people. 

Vocabulary words:

Our next word list comes from the next story in Ariot called: “Hasod” (“The Secret”)
The test will be on Thursday 4/12/11
