תולדות 2015


Dear Parents,
Thank you for coming for the parent/teacher conferences. It was very nice to share with you my joy teaching your child!



A visit from the zoo:
This week we meat an unusual animal called: Tamandua.
We got to hear some cool things about this animal.
It was a lot of fun and smelly!!!


A Special story
In your child’s folder you will find a story called: “מה יש בכיתה שלי” (What is in the classroom). Each child wrote down in his/her book the items we have in our class in Hebrew. They also learned to change these words from the singular to the plural form. This story served as a good exercise for your child’s Hebrew reading and for practicing their vocabulary as well.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "
This week’s story is called: “?מה יש בכיתה (What is in the classroom?)
Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend .

Ariot:
This week Ariot went to   Lila‘s home.

Hebrew workbook:
This week during the Alef Bet unit we started part 4 of the workbook . We reviewed the name of the Aleph-Bet letters  with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter ק” .

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

חיי שרה

Dear Parents,
This week we had a special opportunity  to reconnect  on Skype with our class mate “Noa Berger” . Last month Noa moved to Israel for the year.
The class prepared with questions to Noa about her new school and Israel.
Noa lives in “Modiein” and she showed us Yerushalyim from her house.
Special visit
We also had a special time working with second grade on their project about the 7 days of creation. The visit from 2nd grade provided the 2nd graders with an opportunity to review newly learned material.
Hebrew workbook:
This week during the Alef Bet unit we finished part 3 of the workbook . We reviewed the name of the Aleph-Bet letters  with their sounds and the vowel sound “AH” up to the letter Pay. 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.
Next week B”H we will start a new Hoveret (workbook) with the last 5 letters.
Ariot:
This week Ariot went to Gabriela’s home.
“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’s 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.
Parashat Hashavua
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. In Charan he finds Rivkah at a well.
