WEEK OF OCTOBER 24-28
Kindergarten - Kitah Gan
‫גן‬
The kindergarteners are going to complete the letter Gimel this week. It should be sent
home for you to review with them on thursday. Please take your time to go over the pages,
ask them what the letters are and what the vowel is. We will continue to use the gimel
vocabulary words such as: Glida (Ice'Cream), Gamal (camel), Gan (Park/Kindergarten),
Gahg (roof), Geshem (rain) and Gadol (big). We are practicing reading, now that we have
the first vowel "ah." The students can read and translate Gahg (roof), Gav (back), Abba
(dad) and Bah (came). On Wednesday you will receive a notice for Gimel Day. The
students will be alowed to bring to Hebrew class anything that begins with the letter Gimel
(you will see a list of things in the notice). For example: a rain stick, play ice cream or ice
cream to share with the class, toy girafe or book or picture of girafes, a carrot, a doll to
show the back of the doll. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
The children really and trully enjoy these activities so please make sure they get to share
something with their friends. :)
