Dear Parents,

Welcome back! I hope you had a nice winter vacation.

We are finishing the reading program:

This week we almost finished our workbook with the sound Eh. Next week B”H we will start the last sound “OO”. This means that soon we will finish our reading program. This program has strengthened everyone’s reading skills and taught the important skill of sounding out and writing Hebrew words. This means every student can read any Hebrew word with all of the vowels as well as write any Hebrew word with any vowels! Wow!  

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s book is called:"שַחַר אוֹהֵב כָּחוֹל" -“Shachar Ohev Kachol” (Shachar like blue).

We read this book as part of our unit of “"מָה בַּיַלְקוּט? (What is in the backpack?). Each student got to color his own book. (If your child didn’t finish coloring the book, please let him/her to finish it at home).

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 in this unit.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Areah’s home.

”My family” and “My house” unit:

We are supposed to start learning about our family and about our house in Hebrew. I asked a few weeks ago that you should send two pictures about your family.

1. A picture of the outside of your child’s house.

     2. A picture of your child’s family (a group picture of as many members of the family as possible).

Unfortunately, I’ve received pictures only from a few of the class and therefore I will have to push off teaching this unit for another two weeks. If you haven’t sent your pictures yet or you have sent only one of the pictures, please send your pictures this week!

At the end of this unit, the pictures will be posted in your child’s album. For your convenience you can send to school the SD card with your child (I promise to send it back the same day) or Email me the pictures and I will print it for you! (My Email is: iritkaravani@hotmail.com)

Parashat Hashavua-Parashat Shmot

The 1st grade began learning Sefer Shemot by studying the story of how the Jews became slaves in Egypt. They also learned about how Moshe was saved by the daughter of Paro and was raised in the house of Paro himself!

Shabbat Shalom from Morah Irit.
