Dear Parents,

This week we had an exciting time celebrating Chanukah! We lit the Chanukiah every day in our classroom. We said the B’racha and sang “Hanerot Halalu”. 

Yesterday we celebrated a Chanukah Party with kindergarten and each student got to make his own “sevivon” (dreidel).

W also had a lot of fun at the Hanukkah carnival today.

Hannukkah projects:

We got to color our own Chanukiya that I bought from Israel

if you didn’t get it yet, please look in your child’s  backpack.

Hagim (Holidays):

We learned about the different of the Israeli’s dreidels and out of Israel dreidels. (Please read the story “"אְרִיאוֹת וְהַסְבִיבוֹנִים (Ariot and the dreidels).

Hebrew Sentence of the week:

 _____כַּמָה נֵרוֹת אֲנַחְנוּ מַדְלִיקִים בַּלַיְלָה הַ 

(How many candles do we light on the _____ night).

We are singing this song every day of Chanukah.
   שיעורי בית(shi urey bayit) – Homework.

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

I am so proud of the students who did all their homework’s on time.
Please make sure your child is writing his/her homework with pencil only!
Please make sure the homework notebook in placed  back into your child’s  backpack.
It is extremely important to have it in class on time, otherwise I can’t post their homework for the next day.

First Grade Album:

I still need two of the following pictures (4”x6”)  ASAP.

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.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Gevah’s home.

Hebrew workbook:

This week we stared our workbook which teaches about the vowel “Holam” (the long O sound). We learned to spell words with all of the vowels we have learned so far.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "- A Special story for Chanukah

In your child’s folder you will find a story called: “"אְרִיאוֹת וְהַסְבִיבוֹנִים (Ariot and the dreidels).This story serves as a good exercise for your child’s Hebrew reading and for practicing their vocabulary. Please review this story with your child. 

This week we also worked on a book called:"שַרונה אוֹהבת אדום" -“Sharona Ohevet Adom” (Sharona Loves Red).This book is very similar to last week’s book:”Shahar O’hev Kahol”.

We read this book as a continuation of our unit of “"מָה בַכִּיתָה? (What is in the classroom?). Each student got to write the missing words in his/her book and color his/ her own book. (If your child didn’t finish coloring the book, please let him/her finish it at home).

Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weeken and to share with you their work. It is a great way to practice all the vocabulary we have learned in this unit. Please keep this book at home.

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat: “מקץ” – Mikeitz . We learned how much Yosef was faithful in Hashem. When Paro asked him if he could interpret his dream, Yosef’s answer was that it’s not him, it is Hashem’s interpretation.

This is our word list.

The quiz will be on Thursday 12/21/17.
