Dear Parents,
Today our Hebrew reading books arrived and this was a very
exciting event in our class. These books will remain in the class ( one less
thing to be forgotten at home). We have spent the last three classes on
lesson 1 , learning three Hebrew letters and one vowel sound. Today your
children brought home homework to complete with you. It is a reading sheet for
them to read with you and then they are to return it to me signed. Please
check their take-home folder for these .
Some of the students began lesson 2 today , we will finish
this on Tuesday. It appears from listening to your children that not all of
them will be attending class on Tuesdays. If you could clarify this for me, I
would appreciate that. Our reading program continues on Sundays and Tuesdays.
Our Torah learning is on Sundays only. We will be adding a tikun
olam ( repairing the world) unit shortly. I will keep you posted on what
we accomplish in class so your child can stay current. If you would like your
child to bring home their reading book so they can do work at home, that is up
to you.
Today in our Torah study we learned the parsha
"Lech-Lecha". Your children made star cookies and completed a
Lech-Lecha coloring packet. They also created a Lech-Lecha poster showing a
very important part of the parsha. Please check their take-home folder
for all this work, and then leave it at home. Ask your children what two
promises God made to Abraham.
-that his descendants will be as many as the stars in the sky
-that his descendants will be a great nation ( Israel, the Jewish
people)
They may even tell you Abraham was the first person to believe in
one God, and not pray to idols.
I would love to know what they can tell you about our Torah
learning.
I will soon start to send home riddles, using e-mail that
reinforce what we learned in class. Please read these with them and reply .
They will get extra credit for trying.
We missed Zachary and Levi today. Hope to see everyone on Tuesday.
B'shalom
Davida Robinson
