Dear Academy Parents,
For the past month your children have been introduced to several
subjects, which they have started mastering on a weekly basis.
One of them is Modern Hebrew, the students have discovered the
miracle of understanding and speaking a foreign language by using a limited
amount of words and then building up the vocabulary step-by-step. Each
Sunday I count the number of words each of them uses for their “short
stories”. Thus we have been having a little competition going on in class
where every student goes against his/her own score during our
conversational Hebrew. The students are always encouraged to go up and
present their stories. So far each of them can tell a little bit about themselves
and their families in Hebrew.
In parallel, we have been looking closely at the first Jewish Biblical
Family that consisted of Avraham, Sarah, and Isaac. We have read about
them from the Torah, and then analyzed the most significant events of their
lives, and finally, as a result of our class discussions, the Academy students
are to write autobiographies by using “I” statements and by
imagining themselves being Avraham, Sarah or their son Isaac.
Please have a discussion with your child about one of the most significant
events in the life of your family.
Sincerely,
Genia Ruzer
