Jewish and Hebrew Studies Summary of Last Week
(Please see daily planner for this week’s homework assignments)
Hebrew as a Second Language - G3 - 2/5/2010
We are learning how to use the present tense verbs correctly in a sentence and when, and also how to use the infinitive form of the verb after specific verbs. We have enlarged our vocabulary of verbs and we learned a new vocabulary connected to “Jerusalem Day.” Now we can almost have “only Hebrew” in class. We are working hard to establish this practice in our lessons.

Jewish and Hebrew Studies Summary of Last Week
(Please see daily planner for this week’s homework assignments)
Jewish Studies for English Speakers - Morah Epstein
The students have finished learning about Parashat Chayei Sarah and have shown good comprehension of the material in an oral review. They are ready to begin a new Parasha! Additionally, we will begin our study of Purim. Unbelievable, but there are only two weeks of school left before this joyous holiday. Emphasis will be on the main mitzvoth of the day, the story itself and the enjoyable customs related to Purim.
We are continuing our weekly quizzes which are written on Fridays. Also, the students have a reading log and are now to have finished four Jewish books in English or Hebrew for this part of the curriculum.
Thank you to all those parents who are learning the Daf Hashvui with their children!!
Please send in tzedaka for “Matanot L’evyonim”, the special charity collection to help those in need in Israel to also enjoy Purim. Many thanks and a Happy Purim to all.

Jewish and Hebrew Studies Summary of Last Week
(Please see daily planner for this week’s homework assignments)
Jewish Studies for English Speakers - Morah Epstein
The students have finished learning about Parashat Chayei Sarah and have shown good comprehension of the material in an oral review. They are ready to begin a new Parasha! Additionally, we will begin our study of Purim. Unbelievable, but there are only two weeks of school left before this joyous holiday. Emphasis will be on the main mitzvoth of the day, the story itself and the enjoyable customs related to Purim.
We are continuing our weekly quizzes which are written on Fridays. Also, the students have a reading log and are now to have finished four Jewish books in English or Hebrew for this part of the curriculum.
Thank you to all those parents who are learning the Daf Hashvui with their children!!
Please send in tzedaka for “Matanot L’evyonim”, the special charity collection to help those in need in Israel to also enjoy Purim. Many thanks and a Happy Purim to all.
