Dear Fourth-Sixth Grade Families-
It's hard to believe that the first semester of the
year is over and that 2015 is just about here.
The kids have already matured so much since the beginning of the school
year, both in their reading fluency and proficiency. They are making connections and asking a lot
of questions.
We began isolating root words, made up of three
letters, as well as, identifying some common prefixes and suffixes. For
example, when we see the letter ״ו״
at the beginning of a word it usually means "and." Alternately, the suffix ״ים״ at the end of a word is
generally associated with making it plural. In other words, the word ״וילדים״ (and the boys) is
constructed of the root word ילד
(boy), the prefix ו (and)
and the suffix ים
(plural).
We will continue learning about root words and how
we can quickly gain meaning of a prayer by identifying some familiar key root
words.
I wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year..
See you in ba-shana ha-ba-ah (next year) in 2015!
B'shalom,
Donna Katz
