פרשת תצוה שבת זכור

Dear Parents,

Even though we had a snow day on Rosh Hodesh Adar, this week we marked it by getting Hamantashen " אֹזֶן המן "  from Moreh Dror to eat. It was very Yummy!

Yesterday we had a wonderful program lead by students from High school Yeshivat Beney Akiva “Bet Yehudah” from Kfar Maymon in Israel. We sang Purim songs together and they asked us Purim questions.

Of course, the first graders knew all the answers.

Hebrew reading:

Last week we finished 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!

I’m very proud of everyone’s accomplishments! I am sending home the workbook for you to keep. Please encourage your child to go over the unit with you and read all the words.

Purim Project:

Please send to school an empty “Pringels” can. ( If you can send more then one that will be great!) It supposed to be easier then sending Pictures.

Purim:

We started the story of the Megillah. Next week we will place it in our “Pringels” can. (Only if I have enough cans).

Please keep sending more “Pringels” cans.

Cursive Hebrew letters:

This week we started 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 “ד”.

א=א  ב=ב  ג=ג  ד=ד

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Rena’s home.

“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 and will learn.

Homework:

Some children are still having trouble getting their homework notebook back to school on time.

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.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of Tetaveh - תצוה"”. We learned about the Kohen Gadol 8 different garments he wore and the 4 garments the regular Kohen wore.

Vocabulary words:

This is our word list.

The test will be on Thursday 3/5/15.
