ויצא 2016

Dear Parents,

I will be in Israel until winter break is over.

Morah Eva and Morah Malka will substitute for me and teach first grade.

During my absence, the Hebrew folder and books will not be sent home.

Hagim (Holidays):

This week we started to prepare for Chanukah.

We learned the story of Chanukah and we learned the Hebrew words: “Yehudim” (Jews) and “Yevanim” (Greeks).

We saw two different Dreidels – סביבונים. One is from the USA and the other from Israel.

Please ask your child to explain what are the differences between the two dreidels and why the difference exists. (The answer is in the page in the Hebrew folder).

Hebrew workbook:

We are half way in our workbook with the “Segol” and “Tseyre” vowles.

First Grade Album:

We are working on a special album that includes all the subjects we are learning in “Tal-Am”. Please send to school two of the following pictures (4”x6”)

1. A picture of the outside of your child’s house.

2. A picture of your child’s family (a group picture of as many members of the family as possible).

These pictures are very important for our learning in the class!

Please send it to me soon as possible - the latest time is after winter break, you can also Email me the picture and I will print it.

 “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 outloud 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: “ויצא” (Vayeitzei). We learned that the 3 prayer services we say every day were established by each of our forefathers. We also learned the stories of Yaakov’s dream, how Lavan tricked Yaakov into marrying Leah and Rachel, as well as the birth of the 12 sons of Yaakov.

Shabbat Shalom from Morah Irit.

תולדות2016

Dear Parents,

Yesterday we had a very nice time welcoming in the new month of “Kislev”. In this “Rosh Chodesh”   Moreh Dror gave us a “sufgania” with lots of “Ribah” (jelly) in it! 

Hebrew workbook:

This week, during the Alef Bet unit, we finished  Part 4 of the workbook!!!

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 am sending it home for you to keep and review.

We will start a new Choveret (workbook) with the vowel “Tsereh” (the short E sound). We will learn to spell words with both vowels we have learned (Ah and short E).

I am sending a page with all of this workbook’s words. Please practice reading it with your child. It is very important to make sure he/she knows all of the Alef Bet letters and their sounds.

Ariot:

This week Ariot went to Bella’s home.

“My library” -  “הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

This week’s book is called: טוֹב בַּכִּיתָה- Tov Ba’kita (it is good in the classroom).

This book is a great way of practicing all the sight words.

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,

Morah irit Karavani

וירא

Dear parents,

As part of our Parasha learning, our class received a very special invitation. The kindergarten requested our presence at Avraham’s tent in order to learn about

הכנסת אורחים -“Hachnasat Orchim”. We had a blast and enjoyed their company.

We also went to Avraham’s tent in Moreh Dror’s  Kabalat Shabbat.

Please look at the pictures.

 “My library”"-  הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "

This week’s book is called: “Sharona Bakita?” (שרונה בכיתה?).

Find out who came with Sharona to the classroom.

Please returns the book with a signature.

SHALOM BAKITA (Shalom in the Classroom):

This week we started the “Shalom 1- Shalom Bakita”  workbook from theTal-Am program.

The workbook deals with everyday life in the classroom from the beginning of the school year, and focuses on familiarization with the characters of a "virtual" classroom, the articles and the learning habits in the classroom. 

Shalom Bakita is further organized into 3 subtopics: 

(a) Who is in the class? 

(b) What is in the class? 

(C) How to study. 

These topics will accompany the students throughout the year, since they deal with the everyday life of the students.

Ariot:

This week Ariot went to Gefen’s home.

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 Kof.

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.

Parashat Hashavua

This Friday you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat:  “ וירא” (Va yerah). We learned about two important Mitzvot that our Parasha teaches us: Hachnasat Orchim and Bikur Cholim. We also learned about other stories from the beginning of the Parasha. Please encourage your child to tell you the stories he/she learned about this Parasha using the pictures on the sheets.

Prayer

We are doing very well reading and singing the following new prayers: “Baruch Shamar”, “Ashrey” and “Anim zemirot”

Shabbat Shalom from

Morah Irit.
