3rd-6th Grade Update:
In Parshat Vayakhel, the students learned that God tells Moses to remind the people of Israel to honor the Sabbath. Students discussed what the Sabbath does for our bodies, minds, and hearts. Students thought that the reason why God would choose to remind Moses of this was that we often forget how important it is to stop and take a rest to recharge. Ask your child what Shabbat does for them.
HEBREW
On Tuesday, both classes sang HaTikvah and began to learn the song, Ani M’amin.
The students are invited to participate in a special program for Yom HaShoah on Wednesday, April 27 at CSK. They will be leading off the program with 3 songs that we will continue to learn and practice over the next weeks.
The younger class practiced singing the Alef-Bet song and practiced reading their Hebrew letters through the prayers L’Chu N’rananah and Shiru L’Adonai.
Ask your child what chapter in the Alef Bet Quest book they are in and have them show off their Hebrew reading skills to you. We want the students to finish the book by the end of the year so they need to practice each week.
The older class knows most of their Hebrew letters but still needs to practice more to complete the book. They are also reading L’Chu N’Rananah and Shiru L’Adonai but with more accuracy and proficiency.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO BRING THEIR HEBREW BOOK TO CLASS EVERY WEEK AND NEEDS TO PRACTICE READING OUT LOUD 5 MINUTES A NIGHT TO BUILD THEIR SKILLS.
