We had so much fun this week in the Nemerim class. We had a chance to write books about ourselves. The books talk about things such as our favorite classroom toys, our best friends, and our favorite colors. Having a chance to use Hebrew in such a personal manner helps to give the foreign language greater meaning.

This week we had a chance to talk about maps. We mapped out the classroom one day in circle time. The next day we had a chance to put together a much bigger version of our classroom map. We really enjoyed coloring our map and putting it together. It is hanging up on our bulletin board so come check it out! Making maps was so much fun. Do you think you can make a map of your house?

On Thursday we played with bubbles (bu’ot) during circle time. We experimented with different toys to see which ones can blow bubbles and which ones can’t. It was so much fun! Outside our door you can see which toys we tried and what the results were.

Singing songs is a favorite activity in the Nemerim classroom. We love singing our clean up song (“nir’eh, nir’eh, nir’eh…”) and our good morning song (“boker tov nemerim, boker tov”). We also practiced our Alef-bet and sang “Ooga, ooga, ooga ” (see below).

Please try to remember to check the communication folders in the backpacks. Any papers that go home are in there.

Have a great weekend. Shabbat Shalom!

Ooga, ooga, ooga
Ooga, ooga, ooga- cake, cake, cake
Bama’agal nachuga- we’ll spin around in a circle
Nistoveva kol hayom-we’ll go around all day
Ad asher nimtza makom- until we find a place
Lashevet, Lakoom…to sit, to get up…
