Dear kitah alef families:
In tefillah, all the students
came together to act out the morning blessings.
In the future, the entire school will create something based on these
blessings.
Today we began our unit on
Shabbat. I brought in my own shin candelabra,
challah cover, and my grandfather’s Kiddush cup. We practiced the blessings.
STORY: We read Shabbat. The children helped me with rhymes of how a
family prepares for and celebrates Shabbat.
Gretchen Brandt’s Gesher class
presented the story of Creation. See the
letter I sent out separately with pictures.
The class was enthralled by their wonderful presentation. Then we all sang “I Did Very Good Work Today”
about the days of Creation.
CRAFT: Students created a Shabbat
counter to count the days of the week until Shabbat, the only day to have a
name, not a number (unlike Yom Rishon, Yom Sheni, etc.). The space for Shabbat is larger than the
other days, to allow for drawing what’s important on that day.
HEBREW: Our letter of the week is ל lamed. Some words
beginning with ל are luach and lulav.
Help your child reinforce this letter by going over the page I am
sending home.
During GAMES AND BOOKS TIME, students could look at
books or work on Shabbat puzzles. The
students work so well together.
By now, you should have received a “save the date,” for the
grade 1 Shema parent-student program on November 20.
Shavua tov! Have a
great week
Judy
and Cheryl (Esther and Tzipporah)
