Hello families!

We started our year reviewing a smattering of topics from previous Hebrew courses - and made sure that the students understood basic sentence structure, greetings and a few verbs going into the class. We then reviewed the yellow Let’s Talk! Modern Hebrew chapters 1-6, which the students completed with their 6th grade teacher the previous year. It was great to see how much of it was retained! This followed a Kahoot quiz, where the top two scorers received a small prize. It was a close one! Another Kahoot class covering the entire yellow book is planned for the end of the term.

As with previous years, starting with the later chapters - the students started taking turns “running the lesson”, where they select other students to be specific readers from the dialogue in the chapter and other students act as translators. So far - Simon, Alexa and Michael have taken turns as “teachers” for chapters 7 through 9. On to chapter 10 this week!

Going forward, we will continue through the blue book and I have a special presentation planned to discuss the geography and major cities of Israel - in preparation for those students that are planning on taking the Ta’am Yisrael trip next year. Once we finish the books, and we surely will - we will discuss other Hebrew conversational topics.
