We have been continuing our lessons on Israel Independence Day. The vocabulary words that we are learning are all related to Yom Ha’atzmaut. Some of the words are:
-- Degel – flag
-- Kachol – blue
-- Lavan – white
-- Magen David – Star of David
-- Yonah - dove
-- Passim – stripes or lines
We had our classroom celebration for Israel's 59th birthday, and two special guests joined us: Lee and Ori, chaverot (friends) from Israel. They told the kids about Israel and the city of Netanya, where they are from. Netanya happens to be a sister city to Cincinnati! They brought 3-D pictures and 3-D glasses to give the kids a virtual tour of Israel.
We danced, we sang, and we ended the party with a rendition of happy birthday, and blue and white cupcakes.
We will continue learning about Israel and special places in Israel, and share the items in our Israel exhibit. Thanks to all for sending pieces for the exhibit.
Also, thanks to everyone for coming to the Israel Memorial Day ceremony. The kids performed beautifully. I was so proud of them.
