=Welcome to 3rd Grade Sunday School!= //I look forward to a wonderful year of learning. If you need to contact me during the school year, please call the school office. They will give you my home phone number.// **Dear Third Grade Parents, **  I am so very happy to have your children in my Third Grade Class. Your children will be learnng about Jewish holidays,Torah and Hebrew.  The Third grade curriculum includes selections from Genesis and involves making a Torah scroll for their culminating Torah assembly. Shabbat and holidays will be introduced and discussed. We are continuing the Chai curriculum which highlights the concepts of Torah, Avodah(worship), and G'milut Chassadim (deeds of loving kindness) as they appear in the book of Leviticus. Each student will receive workbook pages from the Chai workbook. The Chai workbook often asks parents to participate in discussions with your children. Hebrew taught by Annette Abrams is also a part of the Sunday session. Our Jewish holidays will dominate the first weeks of school with Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah stories, vocabulary, symbols and discussions.  Your children are very perceptive and want to please you, their parents. Your questions of what they discussed in Sunday School or what Torah story they read will give your child the message that Sunday School is important to you.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. You may call the school office and I will return your call as quickly as possible.  Wishing you and your family a healthy and peaceful Jewish New Year.  Shana Tova and B'Shalom.
