It was a great week of learning and fun in Kitah bet. Your children have been learning about Rosh Hashanah through the lens of what would you like to do better in the coming year, their wishes for the new year and what they are thankful for. Please ask your children what they shared in class for these prompts.
I shared with them the mitzvah of Rosh Hashanah they can all do this year is to hear the shofar blown in synagogue. On Sunday your children made beautiful food safe apples & honey plates for you to use for your Rosh Hashanah holiday at home. I also gave them a sheet with the accompanying Brachot . This should be in their take-home folder .
I shared the book "What's the Buzz?" with your children. It is a nonfiction book that teaches about how honey is made, and it takes place in Israel as a group of school children visit a bee farm prior to the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. I also read the story "Today is the Birthday of the World". In honor of the birthday of the world we sang happy birthday/Yom Huledet Sameach to the world and ate birthday cake.
In teaching about Yom Kippur , I taught your children about the theme of "repentance ", saying I am sorry . I read them the book "The Hardest Word". Ask your children what the hardest word is.
Your children made a matching/memory game about the holiday and we have played it in class. They should have brought it home. Ask them to play it with you and talk about the words that are on the cards.
In our Hebrew learning we have finished lesson 1. In their take-home should be homework to read with you and then sign it and return it to me. Thank you for partnering with me . The more they practice the better readers they will become.
I also e-mailed a riddle to you this week for your children to answer. Many e-mails were returned to me. I resent them, hoping you will receive them. If you do not, please let me know.

Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom and Shana Tova
