Kita Alef here we come!

It must be the end of the year, because Kindergarten students have finished learning the Alef-Bet and their sounds. Now we are ready for more! As a fun teaser for next year, we started learning the Hebrew vowels (nikkudot), beginning with Kamatz  ַָ, Patach ַ , Cheereek ִ , Tzehreh ֵ , and Segol ֶ 

We practiced each letter with the nikkudot, made nonsense words to read, and even read some real words.

Then…we read a book.

All I can say is WOW! They are ready for Kita Alef!!!

Farewell Dear Shinshinim

In preparation for saying goodbye to our wonderful Shinshinim, we will be having a special assembly on Friday. The yelladim have been practicing a special song which they will sing to them, together with the rest of the student body.

If you wish to practice at home, this is the song:

Here are the lyrics in Hebrew and transliterated:

 

  1. לִפְנֵי שֶׁנִּפְרָדִים,
  2. עוֹצְרִים לְעוֹד דַּקָּה.
  3. הַיָּד אֵינָהּ רֵיקָה,

  1. לִפְנֵי שֶׁנִּפְרָדִים
  2. חוֹבְקִים זֵרֵי פְּרָחִים,
  3. אֶת הַדִּמְעָה מוֹחִים
  4. בְּכַמָּה חִיּוּכִים,
  5. שֶׁלֹּא שׁוֹכָחִים בֵּין יְדִידִים.
  1. לִפְנֵי שֶׁנִּפְרָדִים
  2. הַסּוֹף קָרֵב וּבָא,
  3. חָשִׁים אֶת הַקִּרְבָה
  4. בְּסוֹף שָׁעָה טוֹבָה,
  5. שֶׁלֹּא שׁוֹכָחִים בֵּין יְדִידִים.
  1. Lif-nei sheh-nif-rah-dim,
