 Welcome to Third Grade Hebrew at Or Chadash Religious School!
It is time to begin to learn how to read Hebrew words! Through the use of fun games and drills incorporating letter and vowel sounds, students learn meaningful words and discover the fun and excitement of learning to read a new language. Our approach is to teach students decoding skills using key cultural words and concepts. Combined with playful characters and engaging activities and additional supports such as flashcards--students are given the tools to master Hebrew. Additionally, there is an on-line workbook to assist students with their Hebrew practice in their home environment. This is the foundation year of learning Hebrew which sets the stage for the following years of prayers and liturgy study.

 We have adopted the CHAI curriculum for our Third Grade Jewish Studies class. The CHAI Curriculum is a flexible educational system specifically designed to facilitate lifelong Jewish learning within Reform congregations. The CHAI curriculum concentrates classroom learning on Torah (study) and G'milut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness), focusing on the big ideas of the core of Jewish education. Teaching these foundational concepts ensures that student learning will go beyond the specific classroom activities and will lead students to a deeper, enduring understanding, establishing a basis for lifelong Jewish learning and living.
The core curriculum theme for third grade is K'dushah -- Holiness -- and is divided between Torah and G'milut Chasadim. The Essential Question for the Torah strand is: How can understanding and observing the rules and laws found in the Torah make my life more kadosh/holy? The Essential Question for the G'milut Chasadim strand is: How can g'milut chasadim make the world a better, holier place?
Each week, Tzedakah money will be collected in class. The students will understand that tzedakah means doing acts of justice and righteousness, and at various times during the year they will help decide how and where the class tzedakah funds will be used.
