Judaic Studies
I hope all of the kids and families enjoyed the Gimel Family Education Siddur cover project!
Now that the holidays are over, the class looked at what our journey through the first book of Torah will be like. We started with a “what we already know“ session where students had the chance to list all of the things they knew about the story of creation. We then took turns reading and sharing thoughts and found we were able to add so much to our list. I am so proud of all of the students, how they shared their thoughts and for how they asked so many great questions.
This is going to be a great journey through the Book of Genesis!
Now that we are studying the first book of Torah, each week I will send a separate email with the next week’s portion we will be covering. This is a great way for the class to come in with questions to further discussions and ensures we have time for projects and hands on learning.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hebrew
Shalom Parents,
This past week we introduced the letters Nun (+Final Nun), Hey, Reish, and the sister-letter Vet. Vowels for this week are Tsereh & Segol, both making the Eh sound. We added vocabulary words for these letters, and we played a fun and interactive vocabulary matching game. We also watched a video about Ein Gedi, an oasis and a nature preserve near the Dead Sea.
Shabbat Shalom
