Today we discussed the story of Jacob and his dream about the ladder. We have one, big ladder now hanging in the room with the class' angels on it.
We learned "dalet," practiced new vocabulary, and did a review of all of our letters so far with a game.
The game:
We have all the letters we've learned so far on cards: lamed, bet, dalet shin, mem, tav, chet.
I say a word or a phrase and they hold up all of the letter sounds they hear.
For example: "shalom" and working in groups, they collect the shin, lamed and mem cards to quickly hold up.
This was great for auditory learning and reinforcing letters and vocabulary. Try it at home with one or two letters! They've retained all of their hebrew alphabet wonderfully so far.
A few vocabulary favorites today were "dov" - the word for bear and teddy bear - ask, "what is a bird in English and a bear in Hebrew?"
"deleg" is flag and "d'vrash" is honey we also learned "d'vorah" for honey bee.
With these vocabulary words, we decorated one, big dalet and they made their own - which are the pictures you'll see on their classwork.
We talked about Israel. We added two things to our map of Israel: the Israeli flag and the Western Wall. We talked about what it means if something is "holy" or "sacred" and other things we treat with respect in Judaism - synagogues, the Torah, talit.
We practiced dalet in our text books.
To premise next week's class, we started the story of Joseph and his amazing coat.
Have a wonderful week! See you next Tuesday!
