This week we began a new unit in Hebrew centered around winter (choref). The yeladim are learning new vocabulary such as:
שֶׁלֶג – sheleg (snow)
פְּתִית שֶׁלֶג – ptitei sheleg (snowflake)
כַּדוּר שֶׁלֶג- cadur sheleg (snowball)
אִישׁ שֶׁלֶג- eesh sheleg (snowman)
We are alo learning about the types of clothes we wear in the winter and naming the body parts that they go on:
חוּלצָה – chultzah (shirt)
מִכְנָסַיִים – michnasaim (pants)
גַרבַּיִם – garbaim (socks)
שִׂמלָה- simlah (dress)
מְעִיל – me’il (coat)
כְּפָפוֹת – kfafot (mittens)
מִכְנְסֵי שֶׁלֶג – michnasi sheleg (snow pants)
סְוֶדֶר – sveder (sweater)
כּוֹבַע – covah (hat)
צָעִיף – tzayif (scarf)
מַגָּפַיִם – magafayim (boots)
Here they are in action singing one of our new songs:
We also finished the book of Bereshit (Hazak, Hazak! Venit–Hazek!), complete with the story of Joseph and how the Jewish people ended up in Egypt. This week in the Shabbat, 7 you will find a beautiful lullaby based on the blessing that Jacob gave to Menashe and Efraim (his grandsons from Joseph).
Here is the version that we listened to in class:
Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom!
