Current Events and Hands-on Activities Help Kindergarteners Learn Hebrew Vocabulary

Kindergarteners are currently focused on mezeg avir (weather). “To help make this learning relevant, each day the students give a weather report in Hebrew,” explains teacher Irit Daly. “Learning about the weather ties in with the changing of the seasons that takes place at this time of year. We also teach weather around the time that we read the Torah story of Noah and the Ark, and the first keshet (rainbow).”
 
To help reinforce vocabulary and language acquisition, students create games to play with one another, and recently created mezeg avir tic-tac-toe board games. “Playing games with partners, following rules, and winning and losing are all part of the social-emotional skills that kindergarteners are learning,” adds Ms. Daly.
