morah robin's newsletter / Dec. 2

B"H
Shalom Dear Second Grade Parents,
What a busy week we had in Kita Bet!In Chumash we are presently working on psukim 1-5 in perek 12 in Parshat Lech Lecha. We are working on accuracy of reading, fluidity, and basic comprehension with emphasis on certain words and word families. The children are using the Tal Am workbook for comprehension and also the Lehavin U'Lehaskil workbooks for learning to find the shoresh (root) of a word and identifying word families. We are presently working on the "techilit (prefix) of words. We have learned what a "po-al" (verb) is and a "shem etsem" (noun). We also learned to identify a word as feminine , masculine, singular or plural. Chanuka is fast approaching and we have begun our study of the Chanuka story. The children will work on two different packets,one on the story of Chanuka which they will read and illustrate and the other on the laws and customs of Chanuka. Please let me know asap if your child will not be at school for our Chanuka show on Dec. 21 , so that I can plan accordingly. Please don't forget to do Kebaba with your child. This week's Shabbat pary we had a special guest. Mr. Noam Even accompanied Rabbi Elbaz with his guitar and together they led the second and fifth graders in beautiful Shabbat songs. It was amazing! Thank you to Mr. Noam Even for giving us of his valuable time. I hope your child shared what he/she learned with you about this week's parsha. Please sign the parsha page and return so I know they did.Thank you for your cooperation! Have a wonderful week!
Shavua Tov!Morah Robin
