Weekly Newsletter 9/28/10

Chag Sameach, everyone!

I hope your Sukkot has been a fantastic one. In school yesterday we had a great Sukkot celebration which included the shaking of the lulav & etrog and some fantastic songs led by Cantor Schloss.

In class we started to learn about the next Jewish holiday that is coming up very soon, Simchah Torah. We played several games including fill-in-the-blank Trivia and a car racing game on the computer that asked us Simchah Torah questions as we raced around the track! One of the students expressed gladness that we were playing so many games so we could have a break from learning (so don’t tell them they were educational games!). ☺

We also learned the letter BET which we read in many combinations with last week’s letter and two vowels.
Bet (consonant) says “b”
Shin (consonant) says “sh”
Kamatz (vowel) says “ah”
Pata says (vowel) “ah”

HOMEWORK:
The students were given one page (front and back) of reading and writing focusing on BET. This can be found in their brand new Hebrew School Binders!
***Please be sure to help your child to keep this binder in a safe place so they can find it and bring it with them to Hebrew School every week!

READING RAFFLE:
Students should read the Hebrew on their homework sheet for at least 5 minutes for 5 days of the week. For each time this 5 mins of reading is completed, you can sign and date their yellow card, and they can bring it with them in their binders to be entered into our reading raffle.
*There is a way to download more cards if your child is extra ambitious. More info on this to come!
