Dear Parents,

We had a wonderful day at the zoo. We learned a lot!

I am sending home some of our work from this year. Please look for more to come next week.

Shalom workbook:

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 am sending home the completed workbook. Please go over it with your child and let him/her share with you all we have learned.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s story is:""האותיות בתורה שלנו- (the letters in our Torah)- a story special for Shavuot!

Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend .It is a great way to practice their reading and all the vocabulary we have learned.

Homework notebook - Vocabulary words:

There will be no more Hebrew vocabulary words for this year! 

I am 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 will send the מחברת (notebook) home next week for you to keep. Please use this notebook for review during the summer.

Hebrew reading test:

This coming week we are going to have a Hebrew reading test called “MADIK”

The MADIK is a test that checks the student’s ability to read accurately and with fluency.

Please make sure your child is getting enough sleep this week.

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat: "בהר"

This Friday we learned about the Mitzvah of Shimitah. This Mitzvah happens in Israel every 7 years. The farmers do not work their land, plant on it or sell any foods that grow from it. After 7 Shimitot, we celebrate the “Yovel” year. This occurs every 50 years. We also learned about the Mitzvah of Tzedaka. We learned that the best way to give Tedaka is to give it secretly so that no one knows that the poor person is getting money.

Shabbat Shalom,

Morah Irit
