Judaic Studies
Today we reviewed our first semester lifecycle study by playing a game. Students answered questions regarding all the aspects of the lifecycle we have studied thus far–birth, baby naming, brit bat and brit milah, and consecration. Ask your child about the team on which they played and which questions they were able to answer. Next class we will begin our second semester of study on the lifecycle with an introduction to Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
Hebrew
Hey students sharpened their Hebrew reading skills by reviewing the Hebrew letters and vowel flashcards and reading aloud with lines of Hebrew that emphasized reading with the Hebrew letters Samech and Sin. Some of the Hey students, who are already proficient Hebrew readers, worked in their Mitkadem binders on the unit about the blessings that are recited for eating foods and lighting candles. They also considered times when we want to pray individually or collectively as a community.
