Grade
1—Kitah alef December 20, 2015
Dear Kitah alef families:
Today, during breakfast, we
discussed family relationships, relating to the Joseph story. Then we enjoyed tefillah and music with Robin
Kahn and Cantor Ken along with the rest of the school.
In our classroom, everyone helps
with their weekly job, such as schedule, pencils, Hebrew books, art project,
crayons, etc. The students are very
responsible about working together.
Thank you for having such wonderful children! We appreciate the help of Noah Blacker at
breakfast and Ariel our terrific Madricha.
Our Hebrew lesson today is כ “chaf,” This letter does not begin any Hebrew words, but
appears in “kochav,” “star.” After going
over the lesson, the children partnered to use my Hebrew review letters.
We read Justin’s Hebrew Name. When Jason starts Hebrew school, he
discovers he doesn’t have a Hebrew name yet. His parents have many names to
choose from. His new friends offer many creative ideas to use until his family
settles on his name. The rabbi suggests
a happy temporary solution; he will be simha—happy.
Our craft project is a freehand
artistic representation of the student’s Hebrew name or a Hebrew word such as
shalom, mishpacha (family), or mitzvah. Ariel showed students how to write
ahava-love.
The class began reading about
Noah and the Ark. Noah built the ark
with his family. Two of each animal came
aboard, then it began to rain. It rained
for forty days and nights. We talked
about doing what is right even when others don’t. Noah made good choices. We sang “Rise and Shine.” More about Noah at
the next session.
Happy vacation! The next Sunday class is on January 10, 2016.

and Cheryl)
