In addition to learning the letter ה, we have also learned a new vowel!
THE LETTER ה (HAY)
ה (hay) is a fun letter because of the silly way you can remember its "h" sound. Imagine that the letter is a horse stall. The gap on the left is where you throw the hay to the horses. Also, you can think of hay as only having half of a side. It is important to note that ה is silent when it shows up at the end of a word. Here are some new words that start with a hay:
Mountain Har הר
Parents Ho-reem הורים
Haggadah Ha-ga-dah הגדה
She Hee היא
He Hoo הוא
Havdalah Hav-da-lah הבדלה
Hora הורה
New Vowel
Our new vowel is the sh'va. It's job is to tell us to say the sound (s) before and then stop.
For example:
The sh'va lets us know to say Riv-kah as 2 separate syllables. Though this can be a hard concept, the students got it very easily.
Another example would be :
לְ = l
To work on this vowel along with reviewing our others, each students completed a color by vowel worksheet Vowels are "falling" all around. It was a blast!
