Bet – Second Year – Tuesday (Rogin)

9/8: Today in class, we worked on:

1. We enjoyed an all-school assembly with Rabbi Prass.  The students were very curious about the sanctuary remodel.
2. Today we met each other in our new classrooms.
3. The student took a brief Alef Bet quiz to see how much they retained over the summer.
4. The student worked on a word search about Rosh HaShanah to help with their Hebrew letter recognition. We tried to read the first story in our sefer, but it proved difficult, due to too many nikkud and Alef Bet being forgotten over the summer.
5. Aleph – daled students met with Rabbi Prass for assembly, announcements, and Hebrew through Movement and hearing the sound of the shofar for Elul.
6. I met with the parents to talk about my teaching style, and what to expect. It should be a fun, relaxed, and productive year.
7. Remember to send your student with a water bottle, their sefer, machberet, an eparon (pencil), and a positive attitude towards our hour of learning.

Homework to be completed by next class:

1. Please work with your student every day on the Alef Bet and Nikkud (vowel markings). This does not need to be more than 5 to 10 minutes a day. The faster they get this up to speed, the faster we can start reading the stories in our sefer.
