Homework to be completed by next class:

  1. Each session, students will be assigned a workbook page to complete to reinforce what we did in class. This should only take 5-10 minutes to complete. If it ever takes longer, please have your student stop working, and we will complete it together in class.
  2. Students should complete page 1 in their workbook, The New Hebrew Through Prayer.
  3. A Call to Prayer: Students should fill in the missing Hebrew words and then read the prayer they have written.
