This is my grandfather, Reuven Cohen. He is 90 and he is a holocaust survivor.
Today we honor the heroism of survivors and commemorate the six millions Jews, who perished in the Holocaust.
In Hebrew we learned the word , זוכרת/זוכר – remember, and talked about our commitment and oath to remember and never forget what happened in the Shoa.
Please watch this presentation of 6-8th grade students. Presentation

In 6th grade we had a unit about Jerusalem. We learned that Jerusalem is the religious and historical epicenter of the world since it is holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians – over one-third of all the people on earth. Jerusalem is as unique as she is special. Beyond her religious and historic significance, Jerusalem is the capital of modern-day Israel and an advanced, dynamic city.
After reading informative texts, practicing dialogues, “visiting” the market and learning the vocabulary, the students designed a street in Jerusalem and presented it in class. It had to combine historic and modern aspects of Jerusalem.
They students worked hard, showed creativity and could express themselves in Hebrew.

We have started a unit about Jerusalem and we learn about this special city by using adjectives and new vocabulary.
The students had to choose a paragraph and teach the whole class about a different street in Jerusalem. They had to plan an activity in order to teach new words and check how well we understood the text.
Today we celebrated Yom H’Ivrit. Israel marks Hebrew Language Day every year on the birthday of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, the father of modern spoken Hebrew.
The 6th graders organized rotations for Hanukkah today. They planned the activities which were related to Hanukkah, made the signs in both Hebrew and English, gave instructions, managed the time, cleaned up and basically ran the whole activity. It was amazing to see their engagement, responsibility and cooperation.
In the spirit of Hanukkah, we talked and wrote about the “light in my life” – things that make me happy. We practiced Hebrew and it gave me a chance to get to know them better.
Happy Hanukkah!

As a part of our unit about the Negev, the 6th graders planned a 2 days trip. They searched for 3 places to visit a day, places to eat and a place to stay for the night. They also had to find some information about the places they visited, such as Eilat, Beer Sheva, the Ramon Crater, a Bedouin tent, the Air force museum, Masada, David stream, the dead sea and more.
The projects were presented in class in Hebrew, using vocabulary we have learned. During working on this task the students practiced the reading, writing and speaking skill.
After presenting, we gave each other a positive feedback, emphasizing the good things about the trip and mentioning what was missing and could be done differently.
The students worked according to schedule and a guideline, and their final projects were serious and impressive.

In Hebrew class we learn about the Negev and today we had a Bedouin tent in class. We drank tea and ate Pita with Za’atar . We learned about the Bedouin habits (where they live, what they eat, their warm hospitality) and practiced new vocabulary items such as tent ( אוהל), guide (מדריך), meat (בשר), salad (סלט) and more. We practiced speaking skill – the students said what they want to drink and eat in Hebrew.
Today we have started a new unit about the Negev. The students chose a topic they wanted to focus on, searched for information about it and presented it in class.
We learn about the “Beduim”, people who live in the Negev, water in the Negev solar energy, oil and about the Ramon crater.
While listening the students had to fill out a sheet and write new facts or information they have learnt from their friends and also what they liked about their friends’ presentation.
Hello,
In Hebrew class we talk about for and against tests or class projects and share how we learn before a test.
We practiced reading comprehension and how to use connectors and prepositions (in, on, at).
We learned a new song:
Today we reviewed Hebrew numbers by playing Bingo.
After the holiday we will start a new unit about the Negev in Israel.
Shabbat Shalom and Hag Sameach,

Getting ready for Yom Kipur, we talk about the term “T’shuva” and its different meanings in class.
Gmar Hatima Tova,

In Hebrew class we study about our daily activities, such as eating, playing, learning, playing an instrument, running, walking, traveling, volunteering and more.
We practice writing and speaking using the connectors “and”, “also”, “but”, “because”.
Here are some of the students’ work.
Shabbat Shalom,
