SUMMARY OF 2nd GRADE EXPERIENCE:
This year, our 2nd Grade class will be learning about Judaism through a series of deep dive units spanning 4-5 weeks each. The units will each be based on one primary text, one mitzvah/value and one long term project to engage the students and foster understanding. These experiential lessons will be connected by an annual theme of OUR BODIES AND JUDAISM. Our program also has many other exciting activities each week such as, Hebrew Through Movement (interactive Hebrew), Community Building activities, play time, snack time, t’fillah (prayer) time, music, art, dancing, stories, occasional field-trips, opportunities for parent involvement and MORE!
BY THE END OF THE YEAR, 2nd GRADERS WILL:
• Know the names of all their classmates, teachers and classroom helpers
• Feel that they are an important part of the class community
• Have a basic and lasting understanding of the 5 “deep dive” Judaic lessons focused on OUR BODIES AND JUDAISM
• Know 30-50 Hebrew words and their meaning
