We hope everyone had a nice winter vacation! Please join us this Tuesday at 7:00 pm for a seminar on Risk Management.
Reading In reading this week we learned about visualization. We learned that we visualize to create a mental movie in our head as we read. Our thinking stems for this unit are "I'm picturing...", "I'm imagining...", and "I can (see, taste, hear, smell, feel)". Phonics In phonics this week our focus was review of "long "i," "long a," and "long u". Math In math this week we worked as a whole grade on mental math strategies for addition and subtraction. We discussed how to use doubles, how to group by 10's, and adding 10's and 1's. Hebrew/Judaic Studies In Hebrew and Judaic studies this week we started making individual Torah's for the story of Exodus. This will be an ongoing project for the second semester. We re also continuing on our letters and short phrases in Hebrew. Homework Homework should not take your child more than 10 or 15 minutes. This should not include reading, which should be a separate 10 minutes every night. After your child has finished reading (with you, or by him or herself), please sign your initials on their reading calendar. In addition, please practice the weekly spelling words every night with your child.
