Dear
Parents,
We have almost completed the entire alphabet, still have a couple more letters
to go. We have learned the letter Resh. The students practiced reading their
word building. They are able to read words up to five letters. Each student
took their time in pronouncing the letters and then put the word together. They
felt so accomplished when they realized they got it right. It was so nice to
see how happy they were and we moved on to finding letters that did not belong
in sentences. One exercise involved circling the letter that matched the letter
in a box. Whatever letters were left over, they had to form a word and one of
the puzzles was pizza is on the table. They had to draw a picture from the
hebrew word and they were able to read the words beautifully.
We learned new words in Hebrew such as juice, leg, rocket, radio and we
reviewed words such as hand, head, sukkot, lulov, etrog, etc. Everything is
coming together and the students are eager to learn now that the letters and
vowels make sense. Sentence reading has become easier once they learned the
letters.
We began talking about Lag Ba'Omer and will discuss more about it on Sunday.
The students learned it is a short way of saying "the 33rd day of the
counting of the Omer." We count 49 days of the omer from the second night
of Passover and that on the 50th day we celebrate the holiday of Shavuot.
Hope all of you enjoy the rest of your week and I look forward to seeing your
children on Sunday.
Thank you,
Morah Dresner Wais
