We had a fun filled week in Gan. We continued to learn about the creation story and the children are working in small groups to create visual representations of each day of Creation. This week we planned and created rough drafts, and we look forward to creating our final project next week.

We are so lucky that the 8th graders took their time to create a beautiful lesson for us about colors and classroom materials. It was so neat that they were our teachers for a day! Ask your child about it.

We have continued to focus on the letters Aleph and Shin, and look forward to learning the letter Bet next week. These are some of the words we know so far:

Shin Words:

Shalom- Hi, Goodbye, Peace

Shatiach- Carpet

Sheket- Quiet

Shemesh- Sun

Shabbat- Sabbath

 

Aleph Words:

Aba- Dad

Ima- Mom

Ani- I or me

Avocado- OUR FAVORITE!

Aron- Closet or cupboard

Adon- Mr.

Our Gan Gadol helped us by making a picture dictionary of some of our new words

Every week, we practice and learn one song for the whole week. By the end of the week, we truly own the song. This week’s song is found below and was chosen to help us remember the Aleph word ANI!
