Shir Tikva Religious School - Grade 1

The goals of Grade One are similar to those of Kindergarten. Children are introduced to the Aleph Bet and additionally learn basic Jewish concepts such as: the synagogue and the people who work in the synagogue, mitzvot, holidays and blessings. A main focus of the class will be to learn about and experience Shabbat with the goal of enhancing their home ritual. Jewish Life Vocabulary is continued in Grade One.  Students review the letters of the Aleph Bet as well as 56 vocabulary words, many of which are review from Kindergarten.  Additional vocabulary focused on Jewish holidays and basic Jewish concepts is learned with each letter. Basic blessings taught in Kindergarten are reviewed and added to throughout the Grade One year. Modern Hebrew continues to be introduced through the students’ environment. The use of Hebrew words to describe items in the classroom (ex. Chair=kee-say, כִּסֵא ) in the students’ presence continues to expose them to the use of Hebrew as a living language.

Grade One Tzedakah Project - Jewish National Fund - has been a vital part of Zionist history, achieving its goal of purchasing the land that would become the State of Israel, helping to develop that land into a thriving nation, and protecting Israel's environment. Grade One classes will participate in the mitzvah of Ahavat Tzion, For the Love of Israel by using its tzedakah collective to purchase trees in Israel. www.jnf.org
