This week's class we finished our Vocabulary Adventure story -- our original, thrilling tale of an Israeli man named George who climbs a mountain to save his brother Eytan (who can talk to animals) from an angry elephant, defeats their evil sister and her lion, and rides a snowmobile. We used vocabulary from this week to complete the story: animals! We practiced all animal vocabulary after the class expressed an interest.
You can review some of the words. Like, pets: "chatul" is cat and "kelev" is dog. Zoo animals like a lion, "arieh" and a peacock "tavas" would be great costumes for Purim!
Duck = Barvaz
Donkey = Chamor
Wolf = Ze'ev
Fish = Dag
Camel = Gamal
Turkey = Hodu
After drawing and writing the animals, we played a silent zoo: we had to act out an animal from our vocabulary list and guess the animal in Hebrew. Daniel won the acting award for his silent "meduza," Jellyfish! Honorable mentions were Nate the "karnaf," a rhinoceros and Sonya the "dag" fish.
Hebrew charades is a great way to reinforce vocabulary! Especially when the unit is fun and creative, and all around us! The class is really improving their Hebrew print skills and sounding out words by sight. A new letter this week was "Zayin" which appeared in "Ze'ev" and "Meduza".
See you next week, and hopefully at the Purim Carnival on March 20th from 9 am to noon! I will be there, too!
