Letter Chof Sofis

Nicole was our Mail Carrier. She brought us the new letter of the week which was Chof Sofis. Chof Sofis means letter Chof at the end. There are five letters in the Alef Beis that do not come at the beginning or middle of the word. It comes only at the end of a word, such as, melech -king. 
Although, we already learned the ch sound with letter Chof, nevertheless, when the ch sound comes at the end of a word it is written with a Chof Sofis.
The form of Chof Sofis has one big line on top, and an extra big line coming down.
Chof Sofis looks similar to other letters that we learned, such as, Daled, Vov, and Yud.

We heard a story about the three letters kaf, chof, and chof sofis.
Kaf wasn't feeling well. His throat was hurting him so his mom told him to stay home, sit, relax, and suck on a cough drop, A while later, he came to his mom and told her that his throat wasn't hurting him and he didn't need a cough drop to soothe his throat any more. He then became letter chof. His mom agreed with him and said that he didn't need a cough drop but he should still stay home and relax. A bit later, he felt all better. He was able to get up and stretched onto his tippy toes. He became letter Chof Sofis.
