Curriculum Overview
K-3
We’re moving to a "sound to print" method of teaching Hebrew. One learns a language by hearing the spoken word and gaining meaning of what is heard. Through movement, yoga, and games, the students will understand many Hebrew words. This makes it easier when a student begins learning decoding.
Values/Middot integrated curriculum will have students explore, talk about, and do concepts such as friendship, courage, peace at home, Divine differences, new beginnings, etc.
4-6
Hebrew decoding enhanced with selective word meaning begins in 4th grade. The goals are for students to be able to read from the siddur (prayer book) and translate keywords in order to find personal meaning in the prayers. Hebrew decoding skills allow students to read directly from the Torah at their B Mitzvah.
Exploring Jewish holidays through different lenses from Biblical origins to cultural differences. Instead of the same lessons, this moves the discussion from “what and how” to “why” and gives the flavor of different cultures.
7
Experiential Sundays is a once per month program where students will “do” Jewish! To meet the needs of 7th graders who attend B Mitzvah on Saturday, the program has moved to just one Sunday plus the regular Tuesday evening class. We added some Tuesday evenings and extended the timing to 6:15 to 8:30 PM. Tuesdays will begin with pizza and “gathering” time, followed by “Torah '' time with Rabbi Pearlman, B Mitzvah training with Narda Oz, and course study (the Sunday curriculum) with Sherrie Klein.
