Dear Parents,
We had a wonderful day at the zoo. We learned a lot!
Shavuot:
Every day in our morning prayer we are counting the days that past Passover. Tonight will be the last day of counting the days. Ask your child why we are going to stop count the days.  We also learned that Beney Yisrael got the Torah on Har (Mt.) Sinai on “Vav Sivan” (6th of the month of Sivan).
 Ariot:
This week Ariot is going to Beeri’s home.
Prayer:
We added the beginning and the end parts of the “Amidah” to our regular tefila service every day. I’m very proud of all my first graders when they pray from their new Siddur in the morning!

“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.
 Parashat Hashavua: Parashat :במדבר""
This Friday we learned about how the Jewish People traveled in the desert. We learned that the Mishkan was set up in the center of the camp with the tribe of Levi surrounding it. The rest of the tribes camped around the camp of Levi.

Vocabulary words:
There will be no more Hebrew vocabulary words for this year!  I’m 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 am send the מחברת (notebook) home for you to keep and review.

This week’s story is:"איפה הדב של דב"  (Efo Hadov Shel Dov)- Wher is Dov’s bear?
This story is good practice for some of this week words.
Ariot:
This week Ariot is going to Roger’s home.
Parashat Hashavua: Parashat : "בהר בחוקותי"
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. We also learned that there is a Mitzvah to lend money to someone who needs it. We learned that you cannot ask the person to pay you back more money than he borrowed. This is called “neshech” or interest.

Shabbat Shalom,
Morah Irit
