Hebrew 6/7 Grades
Shalom parents and students!
My name is Dr. Rabeeya and I will be teaching Hoveret 2 of Neta Hebrew program this trimester. The Hoveret deals with the connection between the weather, the mood of people and the effect of various seasons on the behavior of people, animals, and trees.
The students are required to write a weekly composition on topics related to the subject of the book, to offer short lectures about the subject, and to prepare their daily assignment(s). This year every students is required to send a voice message through their computer in order to offer them a chance to speak Hebrew outside the classroom.
The final exam of the trimester will also be delivered toward the end of November. The student grade will consist of class participation (20%), final Hebrew quarter test (20%), homework (30%), compositions (20%), and projects (10%).
I expect the students to adhere to high standards of this class and to excel in his/her performance throughout the year. I look forward to an exciting year of learning for the students, and I consider the parent to be a partner in this educational environment based on our Jewish values and traditions.
