Dear Parents,

We had a wonderful day at the zoo. It was perfect timing for our unit of this week.

Ariot 4:

This week we learned the story: "קולות בגן החיות"- sounds in the zoo.

Did you know that you call a different Hebrew sound for some of the animals? For example a dog barks: “Hav Hav” instead of “Waf Waf”.

Ask your child about the rest of the animals we’ve learned.

 Shalom:

This week we finished our unit on “Shalom Ba’Bayit U Ba’chots” (Shalom in the house and outside).  The “Shalom at Home” workbook focuses on the daily life of a Jewish child at home from waking up in the morning until going to bed at night.

This week we focused on the 4 different seasons. We learned about hot days and how important it is to drink water. I’m sending home the completed workbook. Please go over it with your child and let him/her share with you all we’ve learned.

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s book is called: “"עוד חלה בבקשה  More Halah please. This book is from our “Shabbat Shalom” unit.

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.

Prayer:

The first graders now know the beginning and the end parts of the “Amidah”. I’m very proud of all my first graders when they pray in the morning!

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat :" נשא"
This Friday we learned about the 12 spies that Moshe sent  to look at the land of Canaan to see if it is good or bad. Please ask your child to tell you what’s happened at the end.

Vocabulary words:

I’m very proud of my first grade students’ achievements this year. Thank you as well. All your child’s studying this year would not have been so successful without your help and support. I’m sending the מחברת (notebook) home for you to keep. Please use this notebook for review during the summer.

Shabbat Shalom,   Morah Irit
