From Morah Ilona’s class…
The K/1 (Gun/Kita Aleph) class was very busy in the last months. We continued learning the Hebrew alphabet, introducing two new letters each week. Right now, we are learning the letters Kuf and Resh. All letters and themes are reinforced through hands on media; matching games; and, interesting worksheets. With introducing fundamental vocabulary we are going through basic questions: Who, What, Where; the weather, household items and family members.
In the tradition/Culture section of the class we learned and enjoyed the studying up to and holiday of Chanukah. Coming back after the winter break, we quickly we into the holiday of Tu B’Shvat. We discussed the significance of trees to the world, created a tree craft and had an opportunity to plant parsley and taste some of the fruits that grow in Israel. The fol owing months wil be dedicated to the rest of the holidays of the calendar year: Purim, Pesach, Shavuot, as wel as continuing learning new letters and building vocabulary. Whenever we can, we listen to Jewish music in the class. We have been listening to the “Shirlala” CD which includes really funky songs that the children really enjoy. ~Morah Ilona From Morah Yehudis’ class.
