Letter Alef

Come join along as Pre-K learns the Hebrew alphabet this year. 

We had a Mail Carrier named Avigail bring us the first letter of the Alef Beis. We were all so curious which letter it would be. She pulled it out from the envelope. Ta da. It was letter Alef . Alef has one big slanted line coming down, one little line on top, and one little line coming down.    
We saw a mnemonic to help us remember the form of Alef. It was an aviron- (airplane).
When the aviron flies in the sky, its body is slanted while one wing is up and one is down. Then, in order for the aviron-אוירוןto make a safe landing, it has to fly up a bit more in the sky and then land down to the ground.

Neat work! :)



Three friends in our class has the letter Alef at the beginning of their Hebrew name.
Avigail-אביגיל
Eliana Esther-אסתר אליענה
Avraham-אברהם
