August, 2011

Dear Parents,

I hope this letter finds you enjoying great summer moments with your family and friends. Here at Chabad Hebrew School (CHS) we are gearing up for a great year of learning in a fun and encouraging environment, G-d willing. We are excited to notify you that we are under contract to purchase the 4,500 square foot facility at 1300 Windsor Edinburgh Road in West Windsor that we have been renting until now for the base location for Chabad activities. We are about to begin major renovations to make this facility suitable for our needs and as child friendly as possible. We look forward to enjoying many exciting and fulfilling years in our new home.

An exciting innovation we will be introducing this year is the concept of a school theme, which we hope will generate school spirit and enthusiasm. This year, our theme is Jewish Gems, most apropos as your children really are treasures. The group names, reflecting this theme, will be Diamond Daveners, Kosher Coins and Pushka Pearls, as opposed to our usual Alef, Bet and Gimmel groups.

We are also looking forward to the prospect of starting a new class at CHS this fall. This incoming Diamond Davener Group (ages5-7) will be getting a first taste of Jewish learning and experiences through a holistic medium which will include prayers and accompanying songs and Alef-Bet letter recognition with corresponding Jewish characters and concepts.

 

Our Kosher Coins (ages 8-9) and Pushka Pearls (ages 10-12) group will begin their day with the Aleph-Champ Program, our Hebrew reading curriculum, with various new motivational incentives. For those of you who are new this year, the Aleph-Champ Program is based on the martial arts motivational philosophy of color coded levels and testing. The program has provided Chabad Hebrew school students around the globe the opportunity to improve their Hebrew reading ability in an encouraging and exciting atmosphere. The Aleph Champ Program has proven to be a great success in numerous Hebrew Schools thus far. In the program the Hebrew alphabet, as well as the vowels and word formations, are divided into 10 colored coded levels. The students start out as “White Aleph Champs,” working their way up the colors of the rainbow to be a “Black Aleph Champ” like their teachers. Many of our students have made great strides with this program. And the majority of our graduates are in the final stages of the program and are reading beautifully.

 

Following the Alef-Champ Program, the Bet & Gimmel groups will proceed on to the Davening (praying) part of their morning, which includes age appropriate prayers and songs.  The final and largest component of their schedule is focused on thematic Jewish content. This year, the Bet group will continue studying the Jewish Home curriculum, exploring various relevant Jewish concepts through the lens of the rooms of the home.

 

 

For their thematic Jewish content component, the Gimmel group will be following a “Jewish Heroes” curriculum. This unit will focus on both well known and lesser known characters throughout the Bible in a mature format.

 

Please return the following registration form with a $75 deposit by Sunday, August 22, so that we can ensure we have all the appropriate materials for your child. The first day of Hebrew School will be Sunday, September 11.

 

This packet also includes a Hebrew School 2011-2012/5772 calendar, and a postage-paid return envelope. 

As always, if you have any questions please contact me at alileverton@comcast.net or at 609-448-9369 and leave me a message with the best time to reach you.

On behalf of the staff of our Hebrew School , we are looking forward to a wonderful and productive year with your child.

Sincerely,

Aliza (Ali) Leverton

Director
