MIDWEEK Blog 22-23

HEBREW - The midweek students are making grear progress with Hebrew!!

The Gimel (3^rd grade) students were introduced to the Hebrew letters Chaf and Chaf Sofit. The students practiced Hebrew reading in small groups.

The DALET, HEY AND VAV, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th) students continued working in their reading groups. The Mitkadem (Hebrew Prayer Curriculum) students are learning brachot (prayers), the Friday night kiddush, the Amidah, and V’ahavta.  Each student is working at their own pace while learning Hebrew vocabulary in the prayers, learning the meaning of the prayer, and reflecting on the prayer’s relevance to them. Many of our students are enthusiastically studying for their “brain checks” where they have the opportunity to show what they learned from studying the prayer. The Tiyulim (Hebrew reading) students are working in small reading groups, depending on their level. Most of these students can name the Hebrew letters but need practice reading with the letters and vowels so they are able to read at a steady pace. One group worked on reading with the Sin this week, while another group worked on reading with the Gimel. These students are making marked progress in the small group format.
