Grades K & 1 Teacher
Colorful celebrations of the Jewish holidays enable our K-1 children to explore their identity in a fun and positive way. We explore the Jewish calendar, introducing kids to poetry, music and legend as ways of connecting the changes of nature with events in the Jewish past.
We emphasize Jewish symbols which provide concrete visual expression and are intended to enable the children to feel a sense of group identity. Children will learn about Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shabbat, Hanukkah, Tu B’shvat, Purim, and Passover from a Humanistic Jewish perspective. Students learn through group projects, stories, dramatic play, arts and craft, cooking, games and songs.
