Shalom,

Our first week after the winter break went smoothly. Please remember to bring you dictionaries every day to Hebrew class.
Our monthly subject is Tu B’shvat. This year we will write our own Tu B’shvat Hagadah, and work closely with the Judaic studies department. We will include both information about Israeli fruits and trees, along with Dinim and Israeli’s songs.

8th grade only has a quiz on Thursday. Please review Zachar- N’keva for the quiz. A good practice will be to go over your review packet.

Enjoy the rest of the week,

Morah Smadar

Shalom,

I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
This week we will start reading our Hebrew chapter books in class. Each book focuses on a different time period in the Jewish and Israeli History. Our Book is "Anshei B'reshit"' which describes Israel of the early 1900.

Next week is our fall poem festival. Parents are invited to join us on Thursday at 1:30 at the shull. The wining fall poems will be announced.

Starting next week, we will devote a few minutes each Friday to current Israeli music. By turn, each student will have an opportunity to choose an Israeli song and present it before the class. While presenting, the students will share with the class some interesting facts they researched about the performer.
Soon enough, we will all be very familiar with current Israeli music.
The students will show me the clip and lyrics of the song they choose, and will present it before the class after approval.

Shalom,

During the month of September, we completed our "Brachot" unit, and started the unit for the month of October, FALL. During chol Hamoed Sukkot we watched the movie Ushpizin, and had an interesting discussion about it in class.
We are now writing our own poems about the fall season, using new vocabulary we learned in class.

Home work:
Start writing your poem. Poems are due typed on October 30Th.
( With tune and recorded- November 15Th. )

Shabbat Shalom

We had a spelling test on Wednesday, 9/9/09. Thursday we started to read a new poem entitled HaDerech shel kulam veshele (The Road of Everybody and Mine) by Leah Goldberg. Students are to find some background information about the poet's life.
