Dear
Parents,
Congratulations to your children on their performance at the Alef Induction. I'm sure you are all very proud of your children. They learned a lot in a short amount of time. On Sunday, they learned the letter Dalet and worked in their workbooks practicing writing the letter and each student wrote a letter they learned on the board. They chose which letter they wanted to write while another student had to say what it was.
We have been talking about Shabbat and how God created the world in six days and on the seventh day he rested. The students learned that on Day 1 God made day and night, Day 2 God made the clouds, Day 3, God made the trees and the ocean, Day 4, God made the sun the moon and the stars. Day 5, God made the fish and the birds, Day 6 God made the animals and finally people.
We talked about how each family has its own way of celebrating Shabbat. Some go to services while others spend time with family and friends. The students did a worksheet having to circle which things God made. They did very well with this exercise which showed they understood what they had learned.We learned about the blessing for Shabbat candles, blessing over wine is called Kiddush and the third blessing over the bread is called the Motzi. We practiced saying the blessings in hebrew and we will continue learning them until the students can recite it themselves.
We talked about Jacob and Esau and how they didn't get along even though they were twin brothers. Jacob liked to study while Esau was a little wild and liked being outside. We compared Jacob and Esau to the way we get along with our own siblings and the students agreed sometimes they don't always get along with their sisters or brothers. We read a story that talked about how Esau was so angry that he threatened to kill his brother Jacob. Jacob ran away and many years later, the brothers lived in different places and they had families of their own but Jacob tried making peace with his brother but still worried that Esau would still be angry with him. When they saw one another, they were very happy they hugged and kissed one another. They eventually said goodbye and went their separate ways and they had peace between them. We discussed that even when siblings have arguments or don't always get along, we still love them because they are family.
We learned a few words such as Yad, Lev, Ach and Chaver. Most of the students knew Yad is hand, they learned Ach is brother, and Chaver is friend. We will continue learning words along with our letters and vowels which will help when we put sentences together.
Have a good rest of your week.
