Parshas VaYeira Shabbos Questions and Bereishis Curriculum Review
Here is a great packet I found on www.chinuch.org - It is a synopsis of the weekly Parshah with questions and answers... I found it to be perfect for asking questions on the Parshah at the Shabbos table-
You can download it here:
I was then given the wonderful opportunity to review A Creative Curriculum- Bereishis by Chani Marcus.
Their Bereishis curriculum provides you with 26 creative lessons covering the book of Bereishis. Each lesson contains a worksheet as well as numerous activities, discussions, projects and tools to engage the students, drive the lessons home and make the stories come to life.
It says it is appropriate for grades 3 – 6, but it can definitely be tweaked and simplified for younger kids.
It comes with a list of Projects for all year long as well as a complete lesson plan for each Parshah in Sefer Bereishis.
Each lesson plan comes with the following:
G-Goal
P-Project
D-Discussion
W-Worksheet
A-Activity
S-Story
An-Anticipatory Set
X-Extra-Curricular
V-Visual
It is jam packed with info and ideas, and I highly recommend it!
You can check out her website here: Aleph Champs
She also carries fabulous Hebrew reading books and workbooks and flashcards, all of which we have and love using-
So go check it out!
Wishing all a wonderful Shabbos,

Weekly Plan- Parshas VaYeira
So I found a fabulous weekly planner somewhere in my files. I have no idea where I got it but it looks perfect for us and the way our week goes.
Because we dont have a strict routine, I like this planner because it just highlights what I want to get done. It dosnt matter when or how long each activity takes, but as long as it is done over the week, by Shabbos, then I know I am in good shape!
Now it is just a Theme Planner, meaning that it is planned around the weekly Parshah or Jewish Holiday. It does not include Hebrew Reading or writing, although I would like to incorporate that at one stage. For now, here it is:
And here is a pdf version with clear boxes:
(I usually love color and graphics, but for this planner, I left it pretty simple)
And here is how I filled it in for the week:
Theme:
Parshas VaYeira

Hachnasas Orchim (Hospitality to guests), Bikur Cholim (Visiting the sick)

Make a compass (from http://www.youthonline.ca/crafts/makingacompass.shtml):
Supplies
How To Make It
- Your compass will work better if you first run a magnet over the needle a few times, always in the same direction. This action 'magnetizes' is to some extent.
- Cut off a small circle from one end of the cork, and drive the needle through it, from one end of the circle to the other, instead of through the exact middle
- Float the cork and needle in your cup of water so the floating needle lies roughly parallel to the surface of the water.
- Place your compass on a still surface and watch what happens. The needle should come to point towards the nearest magnetic pole (north or south as the case may be)
- If you want to experiment further, try placing a magnet near your compass and watch what happens.
Notes:
The earth produces a magnetic field. This field, although weak, is sufficient to align iron and other paramagnetic compounds such as your needle within it. By floating the needle on the cork, you let it rotate freely so it can orient itself within the earth's magnetic field, to point toward the north or south poles of the planet.Books:
