פרשת תרומה

2-15-13
Dear Parents,

Rosh Hodesh Adar  started with great “simcha” (happiness)! We wore funny hats and Moreh Dror gave us Hamantashen " אֹזֶן המן " to eat. We also danced with students from other grades. Even the tables in the lunch room were decorated. It was a lot of fun!

Purim:
We started the story of the Megillah. Next week we will place it in our “Pringels” can.
Thank you for sending a “Pringels” can.

Cursive Hebrew letters:

We are continuing to learn how to write cursive Hebrew letters. The students focused on forming the letters correctly and reading words written in cursive script. This week, we reviewed the letters up to “מ”. We learned that there are 5 letters that do not start from the top and one of them is “ט”.

Please make sure your child is perfuming “מ” and “ג” right.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   
This week’s book is called:"וְנַהֲפוֹךְ הוּא"- Ve’ na ha foch Hoo- (the opposite!)
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.
Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Ariel’s home.

Parashat Hashavua:
This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of Parashat: “תרומה” we learn that the Hebrew word "תרומה" -(Terumah) means to give a present (contribute). We went over all the different things that were in the Mishkan including: the Mizbayach, the kiyor, the menorah, the shulchan, the mizbayach haZahav. We learned about the different miracles that Hashem did in the Mishkan as well.
Homework:
Please make sure your child is writing his/her homework with pencil only!
Please make sure the homework notebook in placed  back into your child’s  backpack.
It is extremely important to have it in class on time, otherwise I can’t post their homework.
Next week, since we do not have school on Monday for President’s Day, we will do our Monday homework on Tuesday during class time.

The test will be on Thursday  2/21/13.
