HEBREW:
Gimel - Gimel students practiced reading Hebrew words with the letter Samech and learned two additional vowels that make the OH sound.
Dalet -Dalet students continued working in their mitkadem binders.
Hey -Hey students reviewed all of the Hebrew letters and vowels and focused on reading Hebrew words with the letters Sin and Pey.
Vav - Vav students worked in their Mitkadem binders. Some students practiced reading and reciting the Friday night kiddush while other students took assessments on the Torah Aliyah blessing and the Amidah. The Wednesday class played a game of “Jeopardy” where they tested their knowledge about prefixes, suffixes, roots words, and the meaning of the prayers they have been studying in Mitkadem.
EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION:
This week we continued to build on students’ understanding of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws). Students were given different menus from restaurants around Charlotte and were tasked with creating a fully kosher restaurant based on the menu. The first-choice students had to make was if the restaurant would be meat or dairy. Then, they had to either remove items from the menu that were not kosher or find a replacement. For example, if you had a burger restaurant, all dairy items would have to be a pareve replacement and all pork bacon could be replaced with turkey bacon. Students worked together in small groups and shared their menus with the class after they completed their restaurant.
