Dear Parents,

Chag HaSiddur was fabulous. I’m very proud of all my students. Thank you for coming.

The Siddur:

We got to pray today from our own Siddur that we received yesterday.

It was very exciting! I'm sending the old Siddur to keep at home.

Mother’s day- Yom Ha’em

Please look for the special gift your child made for you during Hebrew class. It can be use for your Shabbat table tonight.

Vocabulary notbook:

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. Next week I will send the מחברת (notebook) home for you to keep. Please use this notebook for review during the summer.

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

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

Dear Parents,

We are very busy getting ready for Passover.

This week, we continued learning about “Pesach” (Passover). We almost finished making our own interactive Haggadot. (I will sent it home B”H on Tusday).

 We have reviewed the entire order of the Seder night as written in the Haggadah. We learned the names of the ten plagues in Hebrew and English. We also learned the four names for Passover as well as the names of the four sons mentioned in the Haggadah.  We also learned that the four cups of wine we drink at the Seder stand for the four different languages for redemption. Of course, there is still more to learn! We will be spending a lot of time over the next week learning all the laws and customs surrounding the Seder night and Pesach.

Ariot:

This week Ariot is going to Arye’s home.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s book is called:"גילה שואלת מה נשתנה" -“Gilah is asking “Ma Nishtanah””

Dear Parents,
We can feel Pesach in the air!

Passover:

This week, we continued learning about “Pesach” (Passover).

 We have reviewed the entire order of the Seder night as written in the Haggadah. 

What’s in the box?

This week we almost finished Ariot 3 workbook.

 We read the story called “Dan Ve Dina naganim” (The story is about children named Dan and Dina who play musical instruments). I brought to the class my own musical instrument in a big box. I asked the children to guess what musical instrument was in the box and no one was able to guess correctly!  (Ask your child what instrument it was or flip the page and look at the picture.). I explained what the instrument was and I played some songs the students knew. We concluded with the “Hatikvah”.

“My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s book is called:"יש חמץ?" - “Yesh Hametz?” (Is there a “Hametz”?).

It is a story about finding the Hametz with a special helper. (The “Tuki”- parrot).

Please encourage your child to read it aloud to you over the weekend. It is a great way to practice.

Ariot: 

This week Ariot is going to Elianna’s home. 

Parashat Hashavua:

This Friday you will find in your child’s folder a picture page with a summary of the story of Parashat :ויקרא"”. We learned that the Jews brought Korbanot because the process of bringing a korban helped them become close to Hashem.
