תולדות

בס"ד
11.21.2014
Dear Parents,
First graders are learning how to ask for things only in Hebrew. We can now ask for a pencil, an eraser or our work book! We can even ask to go to get a drink water or to go to the restroom. We always start asking politely by saying: “אֶפְשָׁר בְּבַקָּשָׁה....” (May I please.)  Please ask your child to ask you for things in Hebrew. I am sure you will be amazed at how much Hebrew your child can use!
 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "
This week’s book is called: “?מִי לֹא בַּכִּיתָה” (Who is not in the class?)
we learned the questions: “מִי בַּכִּיתָה?” and “?מִי לֹא בַּכִּיתָה” (Who is in the class? Who is not in the class?)  In this week story –
שַחַר לֹא בַּכִּיתָה, שַחַר בַּבַּיִת כִּי שַחַר חוֹלֶה"  Shachar Lo Bakita, Shachar Ba’Bayit Ki Shachar Hole’”   (Shachar is not in the class.  Shachar is at home because Shachar is sick!). We learned that you wish a  " רְפוּאָה שְלֵמָה " (speedy recovery) to someone who sick.  
Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend.
Hebrew Sentence of the week:
אֶפְשָׁר בְּבַקָּשָׁה...” (May I please?) 
Ariot:
This week Ariot went to Eva’s home.
Hebrew workbook:
This week we finished our workbook: “Hebrew with Morah Irit” Part 4!  We reviewed the Aleph-Bet letter names with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Tav. We also focused on: “Shin” and “sin”. We practiced writing words and placing the dot on the right place. (Shin- on the right Sin-on the left). I’m sending it home for you to keep and review.
We will start a new Hoveret (workbook) with the vowel “Hirik” which sounds like a long E. We will learn to spell words with both vowels we have learned (Ah and Ei).
Parashat Hashavua
This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “תולדות” (Toldot). We learned that Rivkah had twin boys: Esav and Yaakov. We learn about their differences. We learned the story of how Esav sold the birthright to Yaakov for a bowl of lentil soup.
Shabbat Shalom

We focused on: the differences between “Pay”, “Fay” and  the final letters “Fay sofit”  .We practiced writing words and we learned when to use the final letters.

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.
