שבוע ראשון

8.25.2016
Dear Parents,
First grade is doing very well. I am also sending this letter by Email. Please let me know if you did not receive it or if you would prefer me to send it to a different Email.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free contact me at: iritkaravani@hotmail.com or ikaravani@torahacademy.org

Here are some of the things we accomplished:
Prayer:
We are davening all together, reviewing what we already know by using the Artscroll Siddur during our daily Tefillah service. While singing the Tefillot, the children follow the words in the siddurim with their finger. This helps them become familiar and recognize the written word, which strengthens Hebrew reading skills. This week we added a new prayer to our service: “Ein ke’elokenu” We love singing it with the music! We also bentch Birkat HaMazon every day using a bencher as well.
We will be adding and learning new prayer as the year goes on.

Hebrew:
We are working in 3 groups. One groups work independently, one group works with Morah Malka and one group works with me. We are using a workbook called “Me Ot L’Ot”. We learn to read, write, decoding and sounding out words.
This week we finished the letter Alef!

Parashat Hashavua
Every Friday you will find in the folder the summary of the Parasha along with pictures. The first graders learned about the main ideas in the Parasha.
Please encourage your child to explain to you what’s in the pictures.


Please pass through the 1st grade hallway, and see our bulletin board, were the students wrote in Hebrew about themselves.
Shabbat Shalom

Morah Irit.
