Dear Parents,

This week we continued to learn the unit about: “מַה יֵש בַּכִּתָה?”- What is in the classroom?

We got to make our own book with all the Hebrew words we learned for the things that are in the classroom. (like: wall, chair, table, window, door, etc).

I am sending home your child’s book “מַה יֵש בּכִּיתָה?”- What is in the classroom?

Please read the book with your child at home. This book is a great way to practice the words we have learned.

שיעורי בית(shi urey bayit) – Homework.

Please make sure your child is writing in his/her homework with a pencil.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we almost finished our workbook which teaches about the vowel “Hirik” (the Ei sound). We learned to spell words with all three of the vowels we have learned (“Ah”, “Eh” and “Ei”).

TuBishvat

Our Vocabulary words are 5 words from this unit.

 “Ariot 2 workbook” and “Ariot 2 CD”:

This week we learned the story about “Adon blaon”-  Mr. Baloon

 Even though “Ariot 2” is more challenging, it is much more fun to figure out the words in the  “Hachtava” (the spelling quiz at the end of each unit) and we are still able to figure out the words without help.

   שיעורי בית(shi urey bayit) – Homework.

First grade started this week an assigning Hebrew homework  and Hebrew quiz routines.

I am so proud of all the students who did all their homework’s on time.

Please make sure your child is writing in his/her homework with a pencil.

ויחי 2017

We started this week  with  great new learning:  

We started “Ariot 2 workbook” and “Ariot 2 CD”:

We started “Ariot 2” workbook, and Ariot 2 program on the computers.                      

 Even though “Ariot 2” is more challenging, it is much more fun to figure out the words in the  “Hachtava” (the spelling quiz at the end of each unit) and we are still able to figure out the words without help.

 שיעורי בית(shi urey bayit) – Homework.

Yes, we are going to start assigning Hebrew Homework (the first vocabulary list is on the back of this page).

Since we don’t have school on this coming Monday (Jan. 16), we will do Monday’s Homework on Tuesday at school.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we finished our workbook which teaches about the vowel with “Segol” and “Tseyrey”.

Vacation reading:

In the folder, you will find a list of words with two of the vowels we have learned.

The list is built from Alef to Taf. It is very important to practice reading each word with the combination of each specific vowel.

This list is sent instead of a book. Please read it with your child as many time as you can and sign the paper.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Talia C’s home.

Tu Bishvat

We are going to start to learn the Tal-Am unit for Tu-Bishvat. 

”My family” and “My house” unit:

We are supposed to start learning about our family and about our house in Hebrew. I asked a few weeks ago that you should send two pictures about your family.

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).

Unfortunately, I’ve received pictures only from a few of the class and therefore I will have to push off teaching this unit for another two weeks. If you haven’t sent your pictures yet or you have sent only one of the pictures, please send your pictures this week!

At the end of this unit, the pictures will be posted in your child’s album. For your convenience you can Email me the pictures and I will print it for you! (My Email is: iritkaravani@hotmail.com)

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of  Parashat “וחי” – Vayechi. From our Parasha we learned how important is a tzadik’s blessing.

Shabbat Shalom

פרשת ויגש 1.6.1

Dear First Grade Parents,

Ariot had great fun in Israel spending time with Morah Irit

and her grandchildren Yair and Ayelet.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Sapir.

“Ariot 1 workbook”:

We finished “Ariot 1” workbook.

It was very easy for us because we had already learned so many of the vocabulary words and writing skills while doing our reading program.

“ Ariot 1” was fun! We challenged ourselves to figure out the words in the “Hactavah” (the spelling quiz at the end of each unit) and we were able to figure out the words without help. We can read all the Hebrew in it!  We were practicing Ariot I CD-ROM on the smart board in our classroom and in the computer lab which includes the same stories and activities as in the workbook.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי " (Homework for this week).

6 short stories from the Ariot workbook: “Shalom  Ani Ariot”- p.11,  “Shabbat Shalom”- p.21,   “Aba BaBayit”-P. 37,   “Gimmel Bagan?”- P.54-56    “Dag?”- P.72-74 and “Efo HavHav? “-P.87-89.

Please encourage your child to read the story aloud to you over this weekend. It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned in this unit.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we almost finished our workbook which teaches about the vowels “Segol” and “Tseyrey”.

First Grade Album:

I still need 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 them in. You can Email me the picture and I will print it.

Coming soon:

-Next week (1.17.17) we will start having a weekly Hebrew homework and vocabulary test. (Please sign the letter).

-We will start a new unit about home & family (this is why the students need pictures of their home and family!)

-Next month we also will start to learn Hebrew script letters. Wow!!!

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “ויגש” – Vayigash. From our Parasha we have learned how important it is to be responsible for our siblings and for our family.

Shabbat Shalom from Morah Irit.

מכתב על שיעורי בית

1.6.2017

Dear Parents,

First grade students are doing very well in class and now we are ready to move on to a higher level.

Starting next week (Jan 19) we will have a small quiz every Thursday on the 5 words we have studied. I will send home a list of vocabulary words on Friday (Jan 9) in our “Friday Hebrew Folder”. Please keep the words in a convenient and accessible spot for your child, sign the folder, and send the folder back.

To help your child study the words, each student will have a special notebook that he/she will take home on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with their homework assignment. (starting Jan 17).
Every Monday, each student must write the words in Aleph-Bet order. Every Tuesday, they must write the words 3 times. And every Wednesday, they will have a word search puzzle with our week’s words.

For your convenience, I’ll make flashcards for practicing which will be available online.

Parents may not know Hebrew, but the students do. Parents don’t have to study for the test or do the homework!
Your child knows how to do it, we will also go over the vocabulary words in class. Please make sure your child is studying and doing his/her homework.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me:
338-0308
Thanks,
Mora Irit Karavani

Name: ___________________________Date:____________________________

I read the letter and I understand that my child will have homework every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. (starting Jan16).
The first quiz will be on Thursday Jan 19.
