We are dedicated to providing a positive environment that is sure to engage the mind and heart, thereby forming an everlasting impression - to last a lifetime. We therefore go to great lengths to create a very warm and exciting classroom atmosphere. The children will be encouraged to learn through tactile, visual & sensory integration. We believe that each child should learn to work at his or her own unique level, ability and pace. While some children are learning Alef-Bet, others are actually reading Hebrew. Each child will receive individual attention with a small teacher: student ratio.
.
1. Alef Bet & Hebrew Reading
Our Hebrew reading curriculum - Aleph Champ - is the latest educational breakthrough around. Modeled after the Karate/Martial Arts motivational philosophy of color coded levels and testing, it provides excitement and inspiration, leading the student into a winning cycle of learning. Learning is on an individual basis, and each child is encouraged at his/her level. In
addition we will be sending home special home kits so the child can review at home at his own pace.
2. Torah, Jewish History & Israel
The children will be introduced to the characters and stories of the Bible. An overview of Jewish history starting with creation to the giving of the Torah to modern day Israel. The students will gain an appreciation for our heritage and culture that has been preserved throughout the ages. They will also attain an affection for the uniqueness of Israel, our homeland. The students will be taugh through visual, auditory & art (sensory integration.)
3. Shabbat & Holidays
Providing a deeper understanding of Shabbat, we will explore its traditions and customs, and the reasons behind them. Hands-on lessons for each Jewish holiday will fill the calendar as we begin with learning about the High Holidays and continue throughout the entire school year. The children will not only learn about the holidays but will have the opportunities to experience using their five senses. .
4. Music & Movement
Once a month we will have a Music & Movement instructor who specializes in teaching Jewish songs & at the same time getting the children to move & dance. In addition we will incorporate Jewish songs & instruments throughout all our lessons.
5. Art
Children will have the opportunity to explore & experience what they learn through art. They will have opportunities to work with all sorts of material such as wood, ceramics, clay, wire, paints, found material & more.
6. Bar & Bat Mitzvah
We believe that every child, deserves to have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah that is celebrated amongst their family and friends. Rabbi Eli & Rivky has experience preparing children with special needs for their Bar & Bat Mitzvah. Each child will be prepared on their individual level & pace.
Please Note: This curriculum gives you a general idea of the framework that you child will be learning in. All learning will be catered for each child’s individual level.
