February 21 & 22
Hebrew:
Tuesday
Gimel
Students rotated through stations where they read lines of Hebrew aloud as a group, played Hebrew Connect Four with partners, and read flashcards individually to the teacher. These activities are helping the students increase their reading speed and fluency.
Dalet and Hey
This week Kitah Dalet and Hey continued to practice reading in Hebrew. We also did a fun activity creating comics stories for Purim using different materials and new words.
Vav
Students worked on the Shema and V’ahavtah prayer. They completed activities where they thought about the words of the Shema which state that God is One and what it means to love God with all your heart and all your strength. One student said that it means to follow Judaism with your entire self, both your mind and body.
Wednesday
Dalet
This week Kitah Dalet and Hey continued to practice reading in Hebrew. We also did a fun activity creating comics stories for Purim using different materials and new words.
Hey
Students worked on increasing their Hebrew reading speed by popcorn reading lines of Hebrew. Then, they worked on reading the words of the V’ahvtah prayer from the Shema.
Vav
Students are still working on recalling and developing a strong foundation in the meaning of the Friday night kiddush, the blessing for an Aliyah to the Torah, the Shema and V’ahvtah, and the Amidah. Students also worked on reading and chanting the Ashrei. One student lead the prayer for the class, and we are looking forward to hearing more students lead the prayer in the next few weeks.
