This week, we practiced all our new and familiar unit words in order to talk about our school as well as write down words and answer questions.
We talked about the different rooms in the school and who can be found in each room. For example, Ms. Moore can be found sitting in the Principal's office because she is the school principal while Mr. Tony can be found in the gym because he is the PE teacher. We also practiced classroom items. However, this week we did not just say the words, we also read and wrote down these different vocabulary words, sentences, and questions. One skill that we focused on a lot this week was reading. We read short one page poems in Hebrew. In addition, in order to practice reading with and without vowel sounds, we used cut-up song lyrics from familiar songs. We tried to put the lyrics back together by singing the song and putting the sentences in the correct order. You can practice this at home. Files with color-coded familiar songs can be found in games and worksheets section under Additional Resources. You can print out the lyrics and cut them up at home. A new topic that we discussed more in depth this week was how we get to school in the morning. Students spent some time learning and reviewing transportation words and discussing which form of transportation they use to get to school and how long it takes them. The words, questions, and sentences that we practiced can be found in the vocabulary section under Additional Resources. Next week we will continue to discuss what is and is not in our classroom, and how many of each item are in the classroom. We will practice both speaking and writing questions and answers related to this topic. We will also learn how to say different school subjects in Hebrew and compare an Israeli student's class schedule to their own.
