What a fabulous couple of weeks we have had at the Cohen School! We have been learning all about the holiday of Purim. We began our Purim learning last week with a beautiful read aloud that teaches all about the Purim story and also about the four Purim Mitzvot. We then worked on a skit to represent a few chapters of the megillah. Those of you who were at the megillah reading today got to enjoy our talents.
We also had a visit from Matan, who taught us about what Purim is like in Israel. He also taught us a really fun Israeli game, seen below on the right. It's so wonderful having someone from Israel come in to show the kids what a real Israeli is like. Our study of Hebrew is coming along quite nicely. Today we learned the letters "pay" and "phay". Students are decoding quite well. It's important to support the learning in class with learning at home, and as you know, I've been asking you to use tiyulim. I know some of you have had trouble with the app. Would you please let me know if you have had trouble with it, and what device you are using. I will then email the app developer so they can work to fix it. At this point your child should have completed up to lesson 20 on tiyulim.
