//Dear Kol Hamishpacaha IVRIT students,// //We missed the Cohen famiy, and we hope to see you next time.// //Here is a summary of last Saterday:// //We went over lesson 4, in our book. The 2 key words were Hagada & Matzah. Through them we learned the letter HEY that has an H sound and is silent at the end of a word if there is no vowel under it. The HEY's clue is "it has a Hole".// //We also learned, the letter TSadi, which makes the sound of TS like at the end of the word ca__ts__. Its clue is that "it has a knife stuck in the middle of the pi__ZZ__a."// //Our next meeting will take place Saturday, DEC 1st there is enough time for every body to catch up and master the new material.// //We already learned 9 letters and 2 vowels. WOW.....// //So, please arrange some Hebrew family time, decode the reading pages, than do all the exercises of lesson 4, which are really fun to do.// //You can use index card and prepare cards for GO FISH or concentration (be sure to read each word out l//
