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.
