Kitah Aleph students learned the Hebrew letter vet today. The children learned that vet makes a sound like the English letter V and looks like the Hebrew letter bet but without the dot. We have now learned almost half of the Hebrew letters!
The children were excited to see the torahs in their new covers in the sanctuary. The children are becoming more and more proficient in the words of many tefillot. In honor of Chanukah, Cantor Ken lead the students in singing some selections from Hallel as well as a number of usual morning prayers.
In class, we reviewed the story of Chanukah and the children made stained glass dreidel pictures, which are still drying in our classroom.
We concluded our day with latkes and a Chanukah sing-a-long with the rest of the school in the social hall. The children also played dreidel for some Chanukah gelt. Many thanks to the members of the men's club who prepared the delicious snack!
Chag U'rim Sameach! Enjoy the rest of Chanukah! Joanne
