Yisrael is learning Aleph-Bais in Cheder!

Yisrael only started Cheder last week, and already on the second day of school, he started learning Aleph-Bais with Rebbi Yochanan (he has a Morah for most of the morning but Rebbi Yochanan comes in to teach Aleph-Bais and then takes boys out to learn with them individually)

Today, he was all excited because he learned the letter ב - he told us how since he didn't listen, he didn't get a "candy" like the בּ. I gave him a paper and marker, and asked him to draw the letters he learned. He did a really good job- he wasn't looking at anything while he did this! At first, he forgot the "regel" on his בּ, but then he remembered on his own. His first ב attempt came out a little funny (more like script, which was NOT intentional), so he made a second one, further down on the page.

After that, I gave him a little recognition exercise- I wrote a whole row of letters on the side, and had him circle all the א in red, all the בּ in yellow (which didn't show up so well when I scanned the page), and to make a green line under all the ב (he made a few circles too).


We are VERY proud of our little boy- may he be zoche to keep "shteiging" in his learning, and may he go מחיל אל חיל!
