Rabbi Elbaz's Sixth grade Judaic Newsletter for Aug. 24th

Shalom U'vracha Sixth Grade Parents,
Welcome Back and what a great first week of school!
After reviewing the five books of the Torah we began Sefer Shmot. We worked on some vocabulary, reading accurately and fluidly from the Chumash and content comprehension including Rashi. We are trying to figure out what Rashi's questions and answers are . We are presently working on Perek Aleph psukim 1-10. Please make sure you hear your student read aloud from these psukim.
In Navi we reviewed some of the Shoftim we learned last year and will continue to the two last shoftim Eli Cohen haGadol and Shmuel Hanavi. We began Sefer Shmuel Aleph perek aleph with emphasis on the people and places in perek aleph and on the birth of Shmuel.
In Mishna the students are working on a project on the topic of the men of the Great Assembly and the Tanaim.
In Dinim the students received a packet on the laws of Chodesh Elul and Rosh Hashana which will be our basis of learning for the next few weeks.
On Friday we learned the parsha of Shoftim and are continuing our Yofi Shel Parasha page. Please remember to sign and return. We also had a wonderful Oneg Shabbat with songs and a wordsearch on the parsha.
Shavua Tov!
Rabbi Elbaz
