Dear Parents,
We reviewed our letters and learned the next letter, Ayin. We read letters off the board, and the students chose letters and vowels of their choice and we played Hebrew hang man. Amazing how they were able to come up with Hebrew words they learned and they had so much fun playing while they were unaware of how much they were actually learning.
We began talking about Passover and discussed our projects we will make in class. Your children will surprise you with their beautiful artwork that you may choose to use during your holiday Seders. We will be talking about The mitzvot of Passover, the items on the Seder plate and what they represent. The story of Passover, Four Questions and we will learn the difference between reading out of a siddur vs. reading from the Haggadah.
We will continue reviewing holidays, letters, vowels, and sentence building.
We worked in our Chai Curriculum book on Tuesday and discussed some of the mitzvot of Passover which include: not eating chameitz (bread, cakes/cookies), eating matzah, taking part in a Passover Seder, and telling the story of how we were freed from Egypt. We talked about the story of Pesach (Passover) and one of the students added how the waters separated and the Israelites were freed from Egypt. We will continue talking about Passover for the next couple weeks and the students will learn about the Four Questions. Today, we discussed how there is really only one question with four answers.
The students learned that we celebrate Passover to remind us of the slavery experience, which, if forgotten, might enable us to enslave or oppress others in some way. It is important to celebrate Passover and celebrate the Seders to help us appreciate our freedom and continue passing over our rituals to our children.
Enjoy the rest of your week and we will see each other on Sunday.
Thank you,
