Howdy,
One week until our Hagigat HaTorah.
Students as a group did much better this week on their vocabulary tests. I have posted the new words on flashcards below. Thank you to the parent who pointed out that I should be putting a transliterated version of the words up here so that parents who don't read Hebrew or just need a bit of help, can help their children too. Here it is:
you (m.) = אתה [ahtah]
you (f.) = את [aht]
under = תחת [tachat]
but = אבל [ahval]
and = ...ו [veh]
helps (f.) = ...עוזרת ל [ohzeret leh]

Happy Rosh Chodesh,
Today the Hebrew month of Shevat begins. For this entire Jewish month, I am asking students to bring in Tzedakah that will be donated to JNF of Calgary (Jewish National Fund). Each day students who bring in any form of tzedakah (amount doesn't matter, the point is to give) the student will put up a leaf on our Tzedakah tree outside our class. I have offered to students that if they'd like to bring a baggie with a few coins in it for the week I have a safe place they can keep it.
Don't forget about our Hagigat HaTorah on Tuesday February 7th from 2:30-3:30pm.
Friday is an early dismissal day (11:38 dismissal))
Twin Day is Tuesday (non-uniform)

Today we had our second Hebrew vocabulary test. The scores this time were significantly lower than last week. Students practiced daily in class, but many did not study at home. Parents of students who did not pass the test will be receiving an e-mail from me with more information.
Next vocabulary quiz is next Tuesday. The flashcards are below:

Another busy day in grade two. Today we tried something new that Mr. Suissa suggested for all Hebrew classes in our school. We went to the computer lab and recorded ourselves reading a new Hebrew text. We are going to continue to go every few weeks and read. We will be able to listen to our reading improve over the year. Students are asked to focus on proper pronunciation and not be focused on speed.
Way to go grade twos!

I am VERY impressed with the amazing results of today's vocabulary test. All of the grade twos did exceptionally. Way to go!
Next Tuesday we will be having another vocabulary test. I've made it a little more difficult but have kept it to 6 words again.
If you have not handed in your child's permission form for the Who Do You Tell program, please do ASAP.

Happy New Year !! What smiling and excited faces I saw today. So glad to have everyone back, I hope your break was as restful as mine.
You'll notice that I have assigned our first Hebrew quiz for Tuesday January 17th. I'm finding that I need a little bit of extra help and motivation for the students to learn necessary vocabulary words, so a quiz is what I've decided to start doing. Tests will happen every Tuesday for the next few weeks. Each week they will be assigned 6 Hebrew words. Today in class we did a practice (orange paper in homework folders) so that you can see what the test will look like. Students have prepared flash cards (in an envelope also in homework folder). We will be preparing each day in class, but I would like them practicing at home as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I'm putting the spelling list below as well, so that you can look back if need be.
These words come from our Yesh Lanu Llama book.
