January 4th - Welcome Back!

It was great to see our 4th-6th grade students!

4th Grade

Students read the Tower of Babel story and each child created a midrash to provide his or her insight into why the people built the tower as well as explaining the significance of God’s punishment. In Hebrew students learned fay and final fay. The class reviewed key words and played a reading game with the new letter. We continued our study of the V’ahavta, chanting it from a text for the 1st time.

5th Grade

Welcome back to Hebrew school! The 5th grade received their Behrman House test pilot wings for being one of the first classes to test out the Hebrew online materials. We will help you do this if you aren't sure how to sign up. Today was a review of key concepts--Hebrew roots, and the prayers from the first half of the year. Students thought about a New Year's resolution for Hebrew and will try to attain it in the next five months. We started to learn about the meaning of the V'ahavta and the students read from a real mezuzah parchment--the Shema and the V'ahavta.

6th Grade

Today in 6th grade students started learning about the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. We read about it in our book and students answered questions to make sure they understood what they were reading. We will continue learning about the Knesset on Sunday!
