3rd
Teacher: Erin Bloom
Our third graders come to Isaiah twice per week, once during the week and on Sunday morning. The students will begin an in depth study of the Torah by closely reading the book of Genesis. Their study will consist of discussions of the plot, character and motivation, and the Jewish values inherent in the text. Parents and third graders will write questions about each of the stories which they will share with the rest of the class. The culmination of the third graders’ Torah Study will be putting together their questions and comments in a bound Torah book.
Our third graders will learn how to decode Hebrew and will develop a basic Hebrew vocabulary. In addition they will be learning simple prayers and blessings with a focus on the Friday evening service.
