We Love Morah Rina!

Ganon Aleph looks forward to our daily visits from Morah Rina.  She teaches new Ivrit vocabulary in fun and exciting ways.  This week the children have been learning the Hebrew names for different vegetables.

As a culminating activity, after each child correctly identified the Hebrew word for their vegetable of choice, they made a bracha and ate it!  What a delicious and healthy way to learn Hebrew!

Ivrit With Morah Debbie

The children look forward to Ivrit with Morah Debbie every Thursday!  This week they completed the Hebrew unit on colors, and they were excited to finally bring home their color rings.  Ask them to name the colors for you in Hebrew!

Shulchan Shabbat - What Makes Shabbat Special to YOU?

At this week's Shulchan Shabbat, we first spoke about the different words relating to Shabbat that we know in ivrit! Then, the yeladim illustrated pictures using oil pastels to create images of their favorite parts of Shabbat. All of the responses were wonderfully creative and completed independently. Below you can view some of the wonderful illustrations and creations that stemmed from our sentence starter, "My favorite thing about Shabbat is..."

The yeladim from each of the Ganon and Gan classes all had the opportunity to use our iPads to take a picture of their own illustration. I simply can not wait for the "voice-over" activity of having the children tell their part of their class story about what makes Shabbat special to them!

Ivrit in ECD

The children look forward to their daily visits from Morah Debbie for some fun, informal Ivrit lessons.  This week in honor of Yom Haatzmaut, Morah Debbie has been talking about life in Israel, including army life.  Here she is helping them to act out the song "Eretz Yisrael Sheli," using pictures to review the words in the song.  Her visits help to reinforce what the morot are teaching in the classroom.
Anachnu ohavim et Morah Debbie!!
