SUMMARY OF 5th GRADE EXPERIENCE:

Our 5th Grade class learns about Judaism through a series of “deep dive” units spanning 4-5 weeks each. The units are 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 the annual theme, HINEINI: MY RESPONSIBILITY.  Our program also has many other exciting activities each week such as, Hebrew Through Movement (interactive Hebrew), Community Building activities, snack time, t’fillah (prayer) time, stories, occasional fieldtrips, opportunities for parent involvement and choice “chugim” (electives) for 3rd – 6th graders .

MID WEEK HEBREW (mandatory for all levels of Hebrew Students 4th -6th grades): With a flexible schedule, small reading groups, and an incentive style in our mid-week program called “Golden Aleph”, your student’s Hebrew abilities will soar! Beginning with mastery of the aleph bet and all its sounds, through mastery of many Hebrew prayers, your student will enjoy learning to read Hebrew and Prayers that will prepare them for bar mitzvah and beyond!

DAYS AND TIMES: All levels meet Wednesday OR Thursday at (3:30 – 5) OR (4:30 – 6). Choose ONLY ONE FOR THE YEAR in addition to the Sunday class for all! There is also a “South Satellite” option that will meet in Montecito on Tuesdays. (No t’fillah included in this offering and spaces are limited). Go to Golden Aleph page to learn more about the program and schedule.
