Sixth grade Judaics weekly update/ May 12th

B'H

Shalom Sixth Grade Parents,

I hope you are enjoying Mother's Day. We had a very busy week in Kita Vav.Here is a short update.

In Chumash we began our study of perek 11 in Parshat Bo, our third and final parsha for this academic year. We have completed our study of 9/10 makot ( plagues) and reviewed Chumash vocabulary from the beginning of the year, including shorashim ( roots), learned new vocabulary and the Rashi for pasuk 22. This week we will continue with our analysis of the Chumash text, learn new vocabulary and Rashi for our new psukim.

In Navi the students were tested on perek 15: the war of Shaul with Amalek, his sin and the importance of obeying Hashem's commands. The students also got an "unseen" ( psukim which were new to them and not taught before), were divided into groups, and together prepared the contents they learned from these puskim on perek 15: the anointment of David by Shmuel Hanavi. They rose to the challenge and succeeded in understanding the content from these new psukim on their own. Kol HaKavod!

In Mishna we completed mishna gimel in Masechet Bikurim. The students learned who has to bring bikurim, when and why. This week we will continue with three new mishnayot and next week B"H will have our test.

We will also have a big Chumash test during the last week of school. I will speak about it to the students so they know what to study and post it on my blog very soon.

In Parsha the students learned about Parshat Bamidbar on Friday. Please return the sheet signed if they shared the D'var Torah with you.

Chag Shavuot Sameach!

I hope you all enjoyed viewing your children’s projects at our Achievement Fair. In Navi they had their Book of Yehoshua Comics and their Yericho projects on display. In Chumash they had their Chumshilonim for the words they have learned in the parshiot we have studied. And , of course, their Parsha books filled with all  the different Divrei Torah they have shared with you throughout the year. They really did such amazing work and I am very proud of them!

In Chumash we will be completing Parshat Vayeitsei this week by continuing to sharpen our reading and comprehension skills , as well as learning some Rashi’s on these last psukim of this Parsha. The students are also busy working on their Siyum. We then move on to Parshat VaYishlach.

In Halacha we will complete our study of the laws of Shavuot and the students will have their test on this packet, which includes the laws of the Omer and Lag B’Omer this coming Friday.

Fourth Grade update for April 21

Shalom U'vracha Fourth Grade Parents,

We had a busy week in Kita Daled. In Navi we completed the war of Yisrael and Ai and also the punishment that Achan Ben Karmi received by taking from the spoils of war ( the cherem). This week we will continue to learn about the conquest of Eretz Yisrael under Yehoshua and the story of the Givonim who trick Bnei Yisrael into making a treaty with them. They pretend to have come from far away and get Bnei Yisrael to agree to a peace treaty with them.When Yehoshua discovers their deceit he makes them the water bearers and wood cutters for Am Yisrael. In Chumash we will complete our worksheets from last week and finish up our Chumshilonim for Parshat VaYeitsei. In Halacha we will continue to work on our Sefirat HaOmer and Shavuoth packet. Please don't forget to sign the parsha sheet if your child shared the D'var Torah with you.

Good Luck to our Fourth graders on their Achievement Tests this week!

Shavua Tov!
