6th Grade

For the past few years, our 6th grade program has featured student and family retreats and family Shabbat Experience programs on Saturday mornings.  Since we are currently unable to hold these in-person gatherings, we have taken the opportunity to redesign the program.  Congregant, parent, and summer rabbinic intern Leo Fuchs was the driving force behind the course structure and content, and we’re very excited about what we’ve created.  For this first year, both the 6th and 7th grade curricula will be the same.  Next year, we will have a new program for 7th grade.  As we start off the year with distance learning, here are the components:
 
  • Weekly Sunday Zoom T’fillah with Jonathan Bayer and special guests 10:00-10:45 am.
  • Weekly Sunday Zoom 6th grade classes from 11:00 am – noon. The year has been divided into three trimesters, based on “Al Shloshah Devarim“, the three things upon which the world stands: Torah, Avodah, and Gimilut Chasidim (Torah, Prayer, and Acts of Loving kindness).  Students will be divided into three groups, based on their geographical locations, and they will rotate through the three subject areas.  Each trimester will consist of direct instruction, small group or partner research and study (Hevrutah), and presentations to the other members of the group.  We are building in time for fun, sharing, and learning, and we hope that the whole family will participate in watching the presentations.  The thinking behind the geographical groupings is that once in-person meetings can take place, you’ll already have a group close by.
  • Weekly Hebrew Zoom classes on Sunday, Monday, or Thursday afternoons as well as on Tuesdays in Marin.  The following prayers are taught in 6th grade:  Friday Kiddush, V’Ahavtah, Avot V’Imahot, Gevurot, Blessings Before and After Haftarah, and V’Shamru.  The blessings taught in 5th grade, Tallit blessing, Blessing for the study of Torah, Barchu, Shema, Blessings Before and After Torah, introduction to V’Ahavtah, are reviewed.
