Hebrew Update from Schlussel/Levinson


Dear 4th - 6th grade families, 

On Sunday we started the day as we usually do, with a beautiful Tefillah session in the small chapel lead by Cantor Gutman. 

 We combined the 6th graders from both reading classes and played a very intense and challenging game of Hebrew reading "Popcorn". This game not only gives the students the opportunity to practice their reading skills, but it also helps them work on staying focused and on-task.

 Between classes, the entire school split up into their various Chugim (electives) groups. The kids continue to enjoy this special part of our day.

 The 4th and 5th graders read together from their books and also practiced and reviewed the days of the week in Hebrew that they learned last week. Ask them to tell you their names. Next we played a game of Hebrew reading  "tic-tac-toe", and ended the day with a quick round of "Shimshon Omer" (Simon Says).

 Tuesday began with the 6th graders in their Torah Lab with Cantor Gutman. Everyone did a nice job participating and practicing the parts of the bar and bat mitzvah service. 

 We spent the rest of the day giving the 4th, 5th and 6th graders a mid-year reading assessment. This will allow us to see the amount of progress each individual student has made thus far. Assessments will continue next Sunday for the kids that were absent. We ended the day exploring the map of Israel.

Wishing you a peaceful weekend with your family and friends. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday. 

 Shabbat Shalom,
