Erez (cedar tree): Grade 3

 In the classroom, we encourage the development of friendships, which creates a strong feeling of Jewish community. Students absorb more content information at this stage, and demonstrate it through theater, art, discussion and action. When learning about heroes, we encourage them to become Jewish heroes themselves.

The “Hebrew Pod” program is introduced through decoding and listening comprehension skill building to teach Hebrew reading and prayer. Students progress at their own pace.

First period : HEBREW

Second period : PARTNERS WITH GOD

understanding ancient stories as well as modern historical events.

Third period : HOLIDAYS IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

As students gain cognitive skills, they learn the history of Jewish

holidays and their religious meanings.
