grade 2 newsletter/ sept. 7th


GRADE TWO NEWSLETTER/ Sept. 7th

 

Shalom Dear Second Grade Parents!
We had another very busy week in second grade Judaics. In Chumash we are still learning about the creation of the world in Parashat Bereisheet and now know what Hashem created on the first three days. You can ask your second grader to tell you.  We are also trying to remember what the special words of the Torah mean. The following words are part of our ongoing  Chumash vocabulary: 
  וַיִקְרָא ה' וַיֹאמֶר ה'  "יְהִי אוֹר" שָמַיִם אוֹר חֹשֶךְ בּוֹקֶר  עֶרֶב  יוֹם לַיְלָה Next week we will start our “Chumshilonim” ( Chumash pictionaries) where we will write all our favorite Chumash words and draw their meanings. We are quite good at recognizing if a word is “zachar” ( masculine) or “nekeiva” ( feminine) and feel ready for a short quiz ( shmiz) this coming Monday, B”H. In Dinim we are learning about Chodesh Elul and Rosh Hashana. We are busy working on our special Elul and Rosh Hashana packet.  
On Thursday we had a special guest from Israel. The Israeli shlicha, Liat Shaked, will spend some time every other Thursday  with our students  and tell us about our sister city, Kfar Saba, in Israel, as part of the Shutafut Alpayim program.

On  Friday we  learned about this week's parsha and had a Shabbat party led by Rabbi Elbaz. Please encourage your child to share the D'var Torah at your Shabbat table and return the page signed. If decorated it will hang in our Yofi Shel Parasha corner. It is already beautiful with last week's parsha pages! Thank you parents for encouraging your children and returning the parsha pages!
Please always let me know of any concerns or questions.

Shabbat Shalom!
Morah Robin & Morah Malca
