Shalom (שלום) again form Kindergarten.
We had another great day at JFCS last Sunday. It was still nice out so we were able to be outside for little bit during break.
We started our morning off with a telling of The Story of Creation. The creation week consists of divine commands executed over six days, followed by a seventh day of rest.
First day: G-d creates light. The light is separated from the darkness, and "day" and "night" are named.
Second day: G-d creates the sphere of earth and separates the heavens from the waters below.
Third day: G-d commands the waters below to be gathered together in one place, and dry land to appear, "earth" and "sea" are named. G-d commands the earth to grow grass, plants, and fruit-bearing trees.
Fourth day: G-d creates the Sun and Moon, and the stars.
Fifth day: G-d creates birds and sea creatures.
Sixth day: G-d makes wild beasts, livestock and reptiles. G-d then creates humanity in G-d’s image
Seventh day: G-d, having completed the heavens and the earth, rests from work, and blesses and the seventh day we call Shabbat when we are supposed to rest, the way G-d did.
After our Torah (תורה) study we switched to our Hebrew studies. First we reviewed our Hebrew vocabulary:
Ball – ka-door - כדור
Bottle – bak-book - בקבוק
Zipper – reech-ratch - 'ריצ' רצ
Spider - akavish - עכביש

Our new words were:
Peace, Hello, Goodbye – shalom - שלום
Mouse (computer and animal) – achbar – עכבר
Then we reviewed our “sounds like English” Hebrew vocabulary:
Banana - banana - בננה
Pizza - pizza - פיצה
Telephone – telephone - טלפון

Cell phone – telephone cellulari - טלפון סלולרי
Chocolate - shokolad - שוקולד
Our new “sounds like English” words were:
Gorilla – gorilla - גורילה

After vocabulary we went on to practice writing our Alef –Bet. The new letters this week were:
Pey - פ
Tzadik - צ
Koof - ק
Resh – ר
This school year each of the grades gets to decorate the bulletin board at the end of the school hallway. The students came up with the idea to trace each others hands and to cut out the tracing on colors and lay them out in a rainbow pattern. If you get a chance take a look, it really turned out to be quite nice.
