To start off, we created Tu Besh'vat collages, since we were snowed out of the holiday last week. We talked about how trees are like family (mishpacha) because many parts make a whole, big part that brings us life and love.
We added our letter this week, 'shin' to the tree as well and have officially mastered vowel sounds so we had time for one quick game of Tov + Lo Tov to show our new assistant morah, Jen.
The second half of class we wrote the script for our class' production of Joseph and His Brothers. Here is the cast of our off-Broadway show:
Joseph - Ella
Jacob - Sonya
Narrator 1 - Gabby
Narrator 2 - Jake
King Potiphar - Jacob C
Jealous Brother 1 - Daniel
Jealous Brother 2 - Nate
Jailer/Slave Buyer - Harry
Reuben - Isaac
We wrote the script and all the lines together. We will be rehearsing and creating our costumes all of next week's class to prepare presenting to Ohabei Shalom at Tefillah! If you have any costume ideas, please have them bring items along to class next week.
Lights! Camera! GAN!

The Tale of Joseph
This week we reviewed Hebrew terms, people, and places for a big game of Pictionary.
For example, we drew English words out of the hat and one student drew their best representation and the class guessed the Hebrew term. We reviewed family vocabulary and other basic terms like "tov" "lo tov" "toda", etc. Every student had a chance to draw and earn some leftover Chanukah gelt!
We then read from a chapter book, The Tale of Joseph, which tells the story of Joseph and his brothers more in depth than our brief Bible readings. Each chapter a different student played Joseph and we acted out the story scene by scene.
Our Hebrew letter this week was "tet". We recognize a lot of "tet" wrods - tov, talit, toda. Reading, writing and memorizing the Hebrew words gets easier and easier for us each week and we can sound out many of our new vocabulary!
This week's torah portion covers the beginning of the 12 Tribes of Israel and the birth of Moses. Go over what your child's Hebrew name is. What does it mean? Was he/she named after someone important?
We will be discussing Hebrew names after vacation and making our own renditions.
Have a wonderful vacation!
