Students

The students in my first grade classes are 6 and 7 years old. Some can read English quite well, while others are just beginning. All the students are just beginning to read and write in Hebrew. Some come from homes where Torah and parshat hashavua are common topics of discussion, while others come with little or no prior experience. My students have a wide variety of abilities and learning styles – some learn well by listening, while others need to move and others need visual cues. Some are able to express their ideas easily, while others need additional support to succeed. Any methods I choose to teach Torah must have room for all these different kinds of learners.
