Mom, Dad, I need the computer to do my Hebrew Homework

If you hear, “Hey Mom, Dad, I need the computer to do my Hebrew Homework” your child is not trying to get some more gaming time out of you. This year in First, Third, Fourth and Fifth grades, our students Hebrew books, and the majority of their Hebrew homework, is connected to the Behrman House’s on-line learning center.

Behrman House has worked out some of the glitches from previous years and we are really excited that our students will be able to practice their hebrew letter recognition, reading and prayers on the computer. This software engages the students in games and reading review, it allows students to hear if they are reading the Hebrew correctly and it tracks each student's progress for the teacher.

On Sunday, December 14th at 11:15 in the library, we will have a training session for parents. Come learn how to access the on-line learning center, see what the program looks like and ask any questions you may have.

I hope too see many of you next Sunday.
