Shir Tikva Religious School - Kindergarten

Kindergarten is considered the beginning of a child’s formal Jewish education. The overall theme of the Kindergarten curriculum is, “Getting to know my Jewish world.” Children learn about and experience particular Jewish home rituals. Students begin to develop a Jewish life vocabulary and are exposed to the Hebrew Aleph Bet.  As each letter is introduced, specific Hebrew words beginning with that letter are taught. Basic blessings for Shabbat and holidays are taught through singing and recitation

Students develop a Jewish life vocabulary while being exposed to the Hebrew Alef Bet. As each letter is introduced, specific Hebrew words beginning with that letter are taught. 22 Jewish life vocabulary words are introduced in Kindergarten. Basic blessings for Shabbat and holidays are taught through singing and recitation. Modern Hebrew is 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 exposes them to the use of Hebrew as a living language.

Kindergarten Tzedakah Project - Shoes that Fit - provides new shoes and/or clothes to children in need so that they can attend school in comfort and with dignity. The organization does this by matching a sponsoring group, like Temple Shir Tikva, with schools that have children in need. The Kindergarten will be matched with a local school and will participate in the mitzvah of Gemilut Hasadim, Acts of Love and Kindness by purchasing shoes for children in need and by enabling them to attend school in dignity. www.shoesthatfit.org
