Weekly newsletter 8-27-10

Dear parents,

The first week of school went smoothly. We are shaking the summer dust off our Hebrew, reviewing last year vocabulary, and learning some new word. The students had the opportunity to write about themselves in Hebrew, and you are all welcome to pick at our Hebrew bulletin board, located by the learning center.
We are now learning to say different phrases about the weather, preparing the kids to make a small talk in Hebrew…
The students made flash cards with the new words, and have the complete word list in their Hebrew note book. You can also find a copy of this list on my blog at http://5thgradehebrew.blogspot.com/

Quick reminders:
*Vocabulary quiz (weather words)- Friday, September 3rd.
* In case you haven't send A4 spiral notebook (large, lined paper), self photograph and Hebrew English dictionary with your child, please do so by Monday.


Please feel free to contact me with any question.
You can reach me via phone at the school: (614) 864-0299 x114, or via email at: ggolan@toraacademy.org

Shabbat Shalom,

The new school year is starting

Dear parents,

The new school year is starting, and I'm very thankful for the opportunity to continue as your child's Hebrew teacher.
We are heading toward an exciting year, learning Hebrew through the Tal Am program, guided by the principal of Ivrit B'Ivrit.
As always, the Hebrew department promotes open communication between parents to teachers and vice versa. This will enable you, as a parent, to know what your child is learning in Hebrew class, as well as tests and assignment schedule.
To reach this goal, you can check my blog, which will be updated often, and will contain the homework assignments, as well as quizzes and tests schedule. You will also receive a weekly letter, in your child's Friday folder, as well as reminder emails, before tests and other assignments.

Please feel free to contact me with any question.
You can reach me via phone at the school: (614) 864-0299 x114 or via email at: ggolan@toraacademy.org , or check my blog at http://ggolan.blogspot.com/

Looking forward to a wonderful school year,

Sincerely,

Galit Golan

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Galit Golan, and I’m the Hebrew coordinator in CTA, as well as a Hebrew teacher for the 5th grade, and two of the upper school grades.

I was born and raised in Israel. I served in the Israeli military and right after that started gain my higher education in Tel Aviv University, where I received my Bachelor degree In Jewish history and Hebrew literature. I received my teaching diploma with honor from Bar Ilan University in Israel, and now in the process of completing my master’s degree. I worked many years as a teacher, a Hebrew director and curricula developer.

I believe that a relaxing and encouraging learning environment enables the student to learn more, and to enjoy the learning process better.

My main goals this year are:

●To continue bringing enthusiasm and excitement to the classrooms.

●To improve the student’s phonetic reading in Hebrew by tracking their levels and progress, and implementing a new approach, based on the “Hebrew Reading Magic” curriculum.

●To implement our spiral curriculum for grades 6th-12th, based on the school’s philosophy and specific educational needs.

● Support parents, students and new hebrew teachers, with all their Hebrew needs.

Please free to contact me regarding any concern you might have, or with any new ideas for the Hebrew program.

Galit Golan
