//Hello to everyone!
Being a native Spanish speaker made me realize about some of the challenges that native English speakers can have when learning Hebrew (grammatically speaking, Spanish is more close to Hebrew than English).
Because of that, I want to leave here some cues and resources to your use. Click on the link!
//Hi, everybody! Here again to help!
We can find the resources for numbers, with the logic we have been working at class and through the necessities of the class.
Here is the presentation!

//Hi, everybody!
As we have been doing our work, some language necessities have been appearing during the classes so, here you can find a presentation with the Hebrew names for the months!
Hope it will help!
//What to do with the knowledge acquired in class? What about the information generated in a class focused on food? How can we ensure that this knowledge not only remains in language but also incorporates Jewish values? These are questions that arose during conversations with some of my colleagues, and the answer was found in organizing an activity where students can experience it firsthand. And what better way to do this than by supporting the Mitzvah Trips program led by Mr. Wash!
After reaching this conclusion, I shared the idea with the students in the class, and it was very well-received. The plan was to apply the knowledge, skills, and vocabulary acquired over the past two months to contribute to others. Consequently, it was decided to make Parve sugar (Sukar) cookies, with a practical class conducted in Hebrew. The students translated the recipe (Matkon) from English to Hebrew and created a sign to attach to the bags.
Upon discussing it with Mr. Wash, it was decided that for the Mitzvah Trip on November 23, the eighth-grade students would deliver these cookies (Uguiot) to the residents of Hillel Lodge. This week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the students dedicated their time to prepare the dough (Batzek), bake (Le’efot) the cookies, and assemble individual bags (Sakiot) with the signs to distribute them on Thursday. The experience was enriching both in terms of Hebrew and Jewish values. A sweet and meaningful gesture!
Thank you Mr. Wash for your help!
Great job guys! Here are some pics!
//Hi, everybody!
I’m excited to present you all the blog for the 6th Grade Hebrew Core Class.
We are working on the topic of “Trips” (Tiyulim). For that, we have been working with different strategies and materials like, songs, Israeli websites, online activities, answer questions about daily basis knowledge to encourage oral expression, reading texts, translation and games. All of this so the students can start building new vocabulary and reinforcing the one that they already have. The goal, is to make a project about a place in Israel of their interest (they already chose it) and present it in a creative way.
Yulie- Javat Susim Dror (Horse Farm Dror).
Ben- Muzeon Israel (Israel Museum).
Alma-Hamitzpe Hatat Yami (Submarine Observatory).
Sadie- Park Sha’ashuim “Superland” (“Superland” Amusement Park).
The students have been working in vocabulary like: parking lot (janaia), weather (mezeg ha’avir), telephone number (mispar telephone), address (chtobet), museum (muzion), art (omanut), exhibition (taaruja), to enjoy (lehenot), to learn (lilmod), and many more. With all of this words, the students are making a dictionary (milon), categorize the vocabulary in Nouns (shemot etzem), Verbs (shemot poal) and Adjectives (shemot toar) and practicing and understanding how to do the root (shoresh) from a shem poal so they can practice and understand how to conjugate in Present Tense (zman hove).
Keep tune for the Project Presentations!
Shabbat Shalom!
//Hi everybody!
I’m excited to share with all of you the amazing work that the students of the 8th grade are doing in the Hebrew Core class. Taking in mind one of our North Stars, “Own your own learning”, I can share some experiences that express and show this guide for our work at school.
As you know, we are working on the topic of “Food” and with that, the students are learning and practising the present tense in Hebrew (zman hove) so they can write a recipe (matkon) taking in mind the correct way to write verbs.
Also, as I mentioned, the students are working on a dictionary (milon) with all the vocabulary learnt.
On this matters, one of the students owned her own learning and was the teacher for a day, showing how the present tense works for singular, plural, feminine and masculine. You’re gonna be able to see some pictures of it and a video (click in the link). Also you’re gonna be able to see how the other students where engaged, participating and asking questions.
Also, she suggested to do an online format for the milon, and wrote it in to a Google Docs, so you and her peers will be able to have an organized, structured and amazing way to have it at hand. I’m adding the link to it here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dkJpg_AGFEsGR6x_nSa3xVPOZsPLHF54Y_Ao-utt99o/edit?usp=sharing
So proud of all the work that all the students are doing, specially when they own it!
Keep doing this amazing job guys!
//!שלום וברוכים הבאים הורים ותלמידים
Welcome to the 8th Grade Core Hebrew Blog!
I’m happy to present to all of you the first unit in which the students has been working since we started the School Year, “FOOD”!
Through some authentic materials, real necessities and practical lessons, the students are gaining new Hebrew vocabulary, practicing their different skills (listening, writing, reading and speaking) and making advances in putting in practice the language. They have been working in creating a Dictionary (Milón) with all the new words, categorizing the words into Nouns (Shemot Etzem), Verbs/Action words (Pealim) and Adjectives (Shemot Toar). As well, with this dictionary and specially with the Verbs, the students has been putting in practice and making exercises for understanding how the Present Tense works in Hebrew (Zman Hové) so they can work in building full phrases.
For the practical lessons we had and incredible time, of course, PREPARING SOME FOOD! On Friday 6th of October we had the privilege to prepare a yummy salad in the Kitchen! All the instructions and ingredients for preparing the salad where in Hebrew with the vocabulary revised and practice at class. The students enjoyed it a lot and had an amazing time, they felt that they were understanding, having fun and learning! It was a great pleasure and honor for me, to witness this advances. So proud of you guys!
I leave here some pictures so you can also enjoy of the great time we had!
