Shalom Dear Second Grade Parents,
What a busy week we had in Kita Bet!In Chumash we really know the first five psukim of perek 12 in Parshat Lech Lecha so well! Different students acted out being Avram and giving the class hints as to which "bracha" he/she was speaking about, and the other students had to guess which bracha it was. I am very impressed by the way the children know the 7 brachot that Hashem blessed Avram with. Please ask them. We also learned about Avram's family tree and the people who went with him on his trip to Eretz Canaan. You can ask them who were Avram's brothers, who was his father and who were the children of Haran , his brother, that died (Lot, Sarai , and Milka). They can use the worksheet on the family tree for reference. We had a fun project , as well, and the children designed and wrote "Avram's Moving List" for his trip to Eretz Canaan. They wrote what "rechush" (possessions) he took with him and which people accompanied him.
We were also busy working on our Chanuka "story" packet, where the children read different parts of the Chanuka story in Hebrew and then illustrate to show their understanding. We also started a new Chanuka packet on the laws of Chanuka. We will be busy working on completing both packets this week. We were also busy rehearsing the songs and motions for our Chanuka show. Please remember the show is next week Wed. at 9:30. We look forward to seeing you there.
And if all that is not enough, we also found time to continue work on the "techiliot" (prefixes) of words in our Lehavin U'Lehaskil workbooks. We even had a short quiz on them on Thursday. We will have more quizzes on this important subject. Finally, we worked on our "animals" for our "teivot" (arks) and will work on the arks themselves, that is , if we find time this week with all the rehearsals we need to do for our show.
On Friday we had a special Shabbat party with Rabbi Elbaz and the fifth graders. This time the sixth graders came to perform a short play they wrote about the parsha. It was fantastic! The children really enjoyed seeing the story of Yaakov and Eisav come to life. It is also amazing how many beautiful songs both classes know thanks to Rabbi Elbaz's hard work.
I hope your child shared the parsha with you . Please remember to sign it so I know he/she did.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Shavua Tov!
