So much fun learning is happening in first grade.

The students focused their Hebrew learning on the letter Bet this week, learning the following words:

Bayit- House

Balone- Balloon

Barak- A boy in our virtual Class

Aba- Dad

Saba- Grandpa

Shabbat- Sabbath

The students also began creating a picture dictionary this week. We will add to this with every new letter they learn and this will be something tangible to bring home at the end of the year to showcase their learning.

We learned how to record our voices in iTalam this week, so the students can practice reading out loud at home and in class, and even better, the send it to me so I get to hear it. It’s a wonderful tool!

We had a wonderful discussion about CREATION today as we learned the story of Bereshit and the students had so many wonderful questions. Some questions that stick out to me include:

How was their light on the first day if the sun wasn’t created till day 4?

Where did God put the water on day 2 if Earth wasn’t created till day 4?

What does darkness really mean?

Make sure to check out their seesaw posts to see something new they learned or a question they may still have.

**Announcement: Pajama day is next Thursday 10/18. Your child can bring one stuffed animal 🙂

Shabbat Shalom,
