三年级

7项清单.

• 希伯来语

  在三年级，我们继续Tal Am项目. 作为“成功学习”的班级，我们的目标包括:

  • Increased reading comprehension and writing skills by reading texts in two year-long units
  • 第一，如何成功地学习，基于七个步骤获得学习技巧
  • 第二个, 如何成功地了解我们的朋友和我们自己——我们的外表, 爱好, 利益, 以及我们如何学习
  • Increased conversation and listening skills through songs, group work, and presentations

• 犹太人的研究

  In third grade, Chumash study continues with Parshiyot Chayei Sarah, Toldot, and Vayetzei.
  
  Students work to deepen their understanding of the text as Rashi’s commentary is introduced to their Chumash study. 三年级学生学习合作(chavrutas), 阅读和翻译文章，并对文章提出问题, 作为一种开始“像拉什一样思考”的方式. Thinking like Rashi allows students to anticipate his questions and creates an authentic Rashi-learning experience where students are eager to find answers to their questions. 学生们学习读拉什文，然后, 因为他们开始预料到他的问题, inside了解他的评论. Chumash discussions require students to think critically about the text and to support their claims with textual evidence. Third graders are encouraged to discuss their own thoughts and answers to peers’ questions before learning the commentaries.
  
  每周, cumulative shorashim quizzes make 3rd graders shorashim experts and able to tackle any pasuk (verse) that comes their way!
  
  在周一和周四的上午会议上简要讨论了Parsha, 在一周的日子里，在希伯来书中阅读Torah部分. Parsha study culminates with a weekly skit which the students perform in class and take home to share with their families as well.
  
  三年级的学生还学习Yediot Klaliot，或其他一般的犹太知识. We learn with the help of our Chayenu workbooks and songs that help us to remember information such as the 希伯来语 months of the year, 12 shvatim, Torah中的Parshiyot, 等.
  
  The third graders’ insights into and knowledge of chagim (Jewish holidays) continues to deepen as they both revisit previous years’ experiences and introduce new aspects:
  
  One of the most important aspects of third grade is the classroom community that is fostered largely by morning meetings. Morning meetings are held at the start of each class’s Judaic studies class time and is a time to work on community building, 社会技能, 甚至可以强化课堂上学习的一些学术技能. It is a time when students learn to be respectful listeners and participants in group discussions.
