Mrs.+Novick's+Hebrew+Class

Dear Parents,  This year I have the pleasure of teaching your child in my Dalet Hebrew class. This is my 14 th  year teaching at North Shore Congregation Israel. I have been a Hebrew, Religious school, Bar/Bat Mitzvah instructor and private tutor.  As in previous years, our Hebrew curriculum is largely Tefillah or prayer based. With Bar/Bat Mitzvah approaching as a milestone, we will be striving to reinforce Hebrew reading skills and promoting the mastery of prayers. The class will attend a school-wide service, alternating with a grade based Torah service and Trop class; each class will conduct a Prayer service 3 times this year. We will be providing each student with a CD for home use to enrich the curriculum and to reinforce prayer and reading skills.  In order to ensure maximum learning, I urge you to bring your child to school consistently and punctually. I encourage my students to feel comfortable approaching me to discuss any situation that might interfere with their Hebrew studies. Please be mindful of the mitzvah of Tzedakah, and send your child with contributions for the Tzedakah envelope.  The children may also bring a small kosher snack, which can be eaten during our classroom break. Eating and drinking during the lesson are not allowed. Please do not send any food containing peanuts or other tree nuts, as some of our students have severe nut allergies.  Finally, I encourage you to feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding your child. You may call the school office and I will return your call as quickly as possible.  I look forward to an exciting, fun-filled year of teaching, learning, and enhancement of Jewish identity. Best wishes for a Shana Tova, a happy, healthy New Year filled with peace.  <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Shalom,
