Dear Parents,
We were very busy learning the letter Shin. Shin starts with the words Shabbat, Shalom, Shofar, and many other words. The students had to look at various pictures and choose which Hebrew letter began with each word. Some letters were shown more than once so they had to think about each picture and match it to the correct letter. We then read sentences that said, The Torah is on the table. Students had to understand what the words meant. They had to read the sentence and decide which sentence matched the correct Hebrew phrase. This was not an easy lesson, however, the students did very well.
We reviewed all the letters and are down to the last two letters of the alphabet which will complete the entire alphabet. I am very proud at how hard each of your children have worked and how far they have come from the beginning of the year. They will be able to recognize letters and vowels and read basic sentences while understanding what they are reading.
We did an exercise on Shabbat and what it meant to them. They were given construction paper and glue sticks and doilies. They had to create their own Shabbat table without using scissors, tape, etc. Attached is a beautiful masterpiece from a student that created what Shabbat means to her. Each one of your children created beautiful pieces of art and will be bringing home all their artwork next week.
We roasted s'mores in celebration of Lag B'omer. The students had fun standing over the fire pit and putting together their s'mores. Its always great to coordinate an activity when there is a holiday as it is a better way to teach the students in a way that they will remember and understand different holiday's. We are almost done with the school year and I am so proud of each of your children. They were eager learners and they will remember many things they have learned in class this year. We did several projects such as making Seder plates to help them understand what each item on the plate represented. We will review on Sunday and they will be bringing home a special book they made which will show you some of the things they learned this year. I'm confident they are well prepared for next year and I look forward to seeing them in the hallways.
Thank you for sharing these special children I have really enjoyed each one of them and their special personalities. I have learned from them as well as they have learned from me.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
