Fourth Grade Judaic newsletter for Oct. 19


בס"ד

                        Rabbi Elbaz's Fourth Grade Judaic Newsletter/ Oct. 19th

We had a very busy week in Kita Daled. In Chumash we completed perek 28 and began perek 29 in Parashat VaYeitsei. This is the story of Yaakov in the house of Lavan and very soon we will learn about the birth of the shevatim ( tribes). Our lessons use varied learning techniques emphasizing reading accuracy, vocabulary enrichment, and comprehension of the Chumash text and that of Rashi. Upcoming tests: Monday, the 29th the children will be tested in Chumash on perek 28. They will get a guideline for study and review to prepare them for this test.

In Navi this past week we completed perek aleph and began perek bet in Sefer Yehoshua. In perek aleph we learned that the leadership passed into Yehoshua's capable hands and also familiarized ourselves with the map of Eretz Yisrael and its borders. Perek Bet which we began, tells us of the sending of the spies to Yericho, the first city that Bnei Yisrael  conquered. The students are presently working on a project that is connected with the concept of the wars and conquest of Eretz Yisrael.

Each week we learn about the Parashat Hashavua and the children receive a D'var Torah to share at home. Please encourage them to do so. Please sign and return on Monday. Thank you!

We have also just begun working on our Chanuka play. The students will be bringing home their scripts next week. Please make sure your child reviews his/her part often and learns it by heart.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation!

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Elbaz
