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!
