It's been a minute since our last update, but that's because we have been having so much fun. From Sukkot to 2 new letters we have been Hebrew Fun, Hebrew Fun, Hebrew Fun!!!!
SUKKOT סוכות & SIMCHAT TORAH שמחת תורה
We visited the sukkah, learned about the lulav and etrog, made decorations for our sukkah and more!! Learning about Sukkot was very exciting.
Mechina also learned all about Simchat Torah and the traditions we have on the holiday.
1.) Finishing the Torah and then starting the Torah all over again.
2.) Unrolling the scroll completely.
3.) Dancing with the Torah.
HEBREW NEWS:
The letter KAF
Mechina met the letter כּ (kaf), כּ makes a “k” sound like the “k” in kangaroo. This letter can be confusing because it looks a lot like a bet בּ. It is very special in that it has had an interesting day at school. He had a very sore throat so he went to see Nurse Wendy. When he got there the nurse gave him a "kaf" drop. This helped a lot, so he was able to go around all day and say his name clearly, Kaf. In class I was careful to point out that kaf does not have a bench in the back. If it did, it would be a Bet. We enjoyed using and practicing the following words:
Yes kehn כּן
Kippah כּיפה
Dog Ke-lev כּלב
Soccer Ka-door-regel כּדורגל
Wall Ko-tel כּתל
Star Ko-kav כּוכב
Chair Key-say כּסא
The letter HAY
Our letter this week was ה (hay). This letter is extra fun because of the silly way you can remember its "h" sound. Imagine that the letter is a horse stall. The gap on the left is where you throw the hay to the horses. Note: the key words in English also make a "h" sound. Also, you can think of hay as only having half of a side. When ה shows up at the end of a word it is silent. Here are some words that start with a hay:
Mountain Har הר
Parents Ho-reem הורים
Haggadah Ha-ga-dah הגדה
She Hee היא
He Hoo הוא
