In class today we will be talking about the Hebrew word Simha, which means joyous occasion. We will be making a Simha Web on the board with drawings of all the students' favorite Simhas and then we will do an activity about Simhas that are celebrated in the Beit K'nesset (a vocab word from last week that means "house of gathering.")
Then we will have a class celebration of Rosh Hashana, a Simha coming up on Thursday, where we will create oragami shofars and decorate them with shins and shana tovas. If time allows, we will also be playing a shofar game where students will practice their knowledge of shofar calls such as tekiah, shevarim, teruah, and everyone's favorite, tekiah gedolah.
After snack is Hebrew. Today we will be learning BET, which we will read in combination with the letter and vowels we learned last week.
Bet (consonant) says "b"
Shin (consonant) says "sh"
Kamatz (vowel) says "ah"
Patah (vowel) says "ah"
We will also be reading a story about Jerusalem as it relates to the origins of the Hebrew language.
Homework for this week will be pages 3 and 4 of the homework workbook. The books will be staying at ARS, so each student will take home a copy of the homework each week. If your student misses class for some reason, please email me and I will send you a scanned copy of this week's homework.
Have a happy and healthy new year!
