Kitah Alef and their Alef Bet Letters

We have begun to take our Alef Bet experience to the next level. In addition to singing the song we know and love as we point to the letters on our chart, now each child has an opportunity to become familiar with his or her own personal Alef Bet letter.

"Reish" for Riva (Rivka)

"Alef" for Oliver (Avram Simcha)

"Alef" for Alex (Ariel Yehuda)

"Yud" for Leo (Yitzhok)

"Bet" for Basha (Basha Rayah)

"Samech" for Sloane

"Aleph" for Eric (Evan Petel)

"Hey" for Hendrix

"Chet" for Hudson (Chaim David)

The children get so excited when they see their picture and take a turn to match their letter. What better way to support letter recognition than by starting with a personal connection to a Hebrew letter!

Kitah Alef and Their Alef Bet Letters

We have started something new in Kitah Alef! During circle time, we sing a song to acknowledge who is here in school each day and who's at home. When saying hello to each child, Morah Rena hands out a wooden disk with a picture of the child. On the other side of the disk is the first letter of that child's Hebrew name. After singing the Alef Bet, everyone waits in anticipation for it to be their turn to match their Hebrew letter to its equivalent on our newly posted Alef Bet chart. The children in Kitah Alef are quite proud and excited about their Hebrew letters. We're really getting to know our letters and those of our friends!
