Curriculum Grades 4 and 5

Grade 4.  The fourth grade’s focus is on Jewish holidays and traditions as well as the many facets of Israel. Students will learn about Israel’s geography, culture and history as well as Jewish values.  

Hebrew is more of a central focus as well as students will begin to learn to read basic words and prayers. Family Education also plays a role in this year’s curriculum. Topics may include The Many Faces of My Jewish Family and a Trip to Israel. 

Grade 5. Students see a direct relationship between being a member of a community and our behaviors, through study of the relationship between the People and the Land in the Torah, the significance and structure of communal prayer, and acts of g'milut chasadim affecting relationships. 


Family Education topics may include: Prayer and Community 

Hebrew classes will resume on Wednesdays as well for these students as they continue to learn Shabbat prayers and their meanings.
