Yitzhak Rabin memorial day

On Sunday we will mark the memorial day of Yitzhak Rabin. Today we talked in class about his heritage and the importance of respecting other people opinions, accepting others and being tolerant.

We learn the song “Ani ve’ata neshane et haolam” (you and me are going to change the world). We went over the vocabulary and also talked about what it means to us to change the world.

The students connected this song to our core values, Tikkun olam and Empathy.

Shabbat Shalom,

Zehavit Ishak

A Bedouin Tent

 

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.

 

 

Learning Hebrew together

Today we had a great chance to study with the 5th graders. We reviewed words such as brother and sister (אח ואחות), snow (שלג), winter (חורף) , colors and more.

Every 2nd grader was paired to a 5th grader, and they read the text אדון בלון (Mr. Balloon) and worked on italam.

I enjoyed watching them working together, and were proud of them for being listening and serious about their reading.

 

 

Learning about the Negev

 

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.

Sukkot and more

Hello,

This week we learnt the letter ה and practiced our reading. I read with each of the students in person, while the rest of class were working independently.

For Sukkot We learned about the 4 species in Hebrew (Etrog, Lulav, Hadas, Arava) and the first letter for each one. We also created a decoration for the Sukah.

 

Thank you for your cooperation with the memory game cards. The kids told me about you playing together and teaching some of you new words in Hebrew!

Our next topic will be colors.
