Lashon Update

Dear Fourth and Fifth Grade Parents,                                                                

We’re off to a wonderful start in Lashon class this year!  Both sections are working on a Tal Am Unit called HaKitah Hame’uchedet – The United Class.  We spent the first few days getting to know each other b’Ivrit (in Hebrew), learning what makes each and every one of us meyuchad and meyuchedet – special.  Within this first unit we’ve been on working on verb usage. Lisa’s class is being introduced to the future tense. Naomi’s class is working on these verbs in present tense. We are all practicing our writing skills and constructing sentences. 
We’ve been learning songs and singing songs. Your children have created some very beautiful artwork.  Every day we spend time using our new vocabulary speaking with one another.  We encourage the children to speak in Hebrew as much as possible.  Both sections will come together to celebrate Rosh Hashanah this Friday. We will end our first unit next week with a review of question words and prepositions. In keeping with the spirit of the upcoming holiday season and new beginnings, next week’s word of the week and focus of our studies will be levarech (to bless and to greet).
Best wishes for a sweet New Year,
Lisa and Naomi                                                                                                                                  ,וּמְתוּקָה טוֹבָה שָנָה
ונעמי ליסה
