Dear Parents,
Welcome to a fantastic fun year of learning in the Yellow
Room! In the very first week the Yellow Room Friends have already dived right
in to learning reviewing the Alef Beis letters and reinforcing the letters they
may have forgotten or not learned yet. They have explored the Alef Beis letters
for the word Shofar utilizing kinetic moon sand to shape the letters. The
Yellow Room Whizzes will bring home the paper they used to write the letters
used to spell Shofar. They have been exploring sounds and, after listening to
several sounds decided that the Shofar sound does not sound like a guitar. The
Shofar sound does not sound like a piano. The Shofar sound sounds like crying,
sometimes like a baby crying. Thank you, Rabbi Deitsch, for coming in to the
Yellow Room to blow the Shofar for the Yellow Room Friends. The Kindergarten is
already familiar with the shofar sounds. Ask your child what sound the Tekiya,
Shevarim and Teruah sounds are of the Shofar. This diagram can help:

The Yellow Room Friends shared their summer experiences:
Angie: I went to my Mexico
house. I went swimming in the pool and the ocean.
Natan: I liked going to my
Grandma’s because she has my dog’s sister. I went to Chuckie Cheese with Leanna
and Mia.
Leah: I went to Mexico and
went inside the ocean. When you open your eyes in the water, they burn. And
when you lick the water, it’s salty. There’s fishies. I wanted there to be
dolphins but they weren’t there. I liked the beautiful house there and slept
there for five days.
Leanna: I went to New Mexico
on summer. We were sleeping and we heard sirens and there was a tornado. We had
to go in the basement. The next morning we saw a rainbow. We went to the ocean
and I dived down and saw a shark. It was my first time being down there.
Mae: I liked going to the
playgrounds. I liked the swings. We went in the pool in the backyard. We had
play toy fishes in the pool Mommy and Abba got them. They swam underwater.
Jacob: I went to the train
park. Brewster got scared of the bug and it came to the train park.
Ronan: I got to meet my
friends at the park. Out of my neighborhood, the park has swings and I played
army guys with my friends.
Naveed: I went to my pool a
bunch, a bunch, a bunch of times, like 1000 times. My favorite part of summer
was also summer camp in school. In my sister’s school.
Show and Tell
Your child is welcome to bring one item from home for Show and Tell on
his/her day. Show and Tell is an opportunity for your child to better develop
confidence and poise in public speaking.

Mitzva Notes
Every day the children enjoy sharing a Mitzva they have done
and fill their Mitzva buckets with the notes. Please send a Mitzva note every
day with your child. I have enclosed a plastic packet with lots of papers to
start you off in your child’s backpack, most probably in the small outside
pocket. If you need a refill, please let
me know.
Supply items missing:
Please note: Your child will have brought home a
supply list in his/her backpack with items noted still to be sent in to school.
Thank you so much!
Shabbat Shalom!
Morah Perline
