Our Edot class has begun to focus more attention during the past couple of weeks to our Hebrew Through Movement (HTM) program. During the first semester and into the second, we have devoted 10 minutes on week days and Sundays to teaching basic Hebrew vocabulary. We have reached the point now, where enough vocabulary is in place to begin teaching Jewish holiday vocabulary. This is a very exciting stage we've reached. Now that the children recognize basic verbs, nouns, prepositions, and adverbs, we can begin to introduce major holiday vocabulary and have fun with it. We have begun, during the past couple of weeks, to devote twice as much time to HTM, and, as far as I can tell, are having twice as much fun (if that's possible!). I'll let the following photos that Josh and Ariel took yesterday speak for themselves.
