Dear Parents,
Hope your Rosh Hashanah went well....wishing everyone an easy fast and a Happy
and Healthy New Year!
Sunday, we reviewed all the vowels and each student was called up to the board
and they wrote Alef, Bet and Gimmel. They were very eager to write the letters
and each student chose which vowel they wanted to write under their letters.
They were very excited when they were able to pronounce the letter and it was
amazing how hard they concentrated on it. We worked on word building and letter
recognition. Your children are doing phenomenal and I have all the confidence
they will be reading sentences very soon. They learned what a mezuzah is and
what is in it and where it is located. they know how to say pencil in hebrew
although maybe they have forgotten but we will review all the new words we learn
over and over. We went to Tefillah where they watched short cartoon clips
relating to holidays and the students sang songs and really enjoyed themselves.
Today (Tuesday) we worked on our Chai curriculum. We talked about Abraham and
Sarah. Abraham and Sarah believed in God, and they left their home and moved to
Canaan, the land that God showed them. Abraham and Sarah loved to make people
feel comfortable and happy. The students were very intrigued by the story. We
talked about Yom Kippur and how helping others in the New Year is something we
can always improve on. Saying sorry to people we may have hurt.
Arielle said she never had to say sorry because she never hurt anyone.
Justin said some friends have been mean to him but he was never mean to them
Evan said he doesn't have to say sorry because he wasn't mean to anyone
The students understand that as humans we all need to improve ourselves in the
New Year. We all agreed we are going to work on ourselves and become better
people than we already are.
Wishing everyone an easy fast.
Thank you,
Lisa Dresner Wais
