Language Development

At Nesach Yisrael, we emphasize the development of higher-order language skills. Our curriculum focuses on enhancing students' abilities in thinking, predicting, drawing conclusions, reconstructing long texts, making comparisons, asking insightful questions, and developing self-monitoring skills. Students also engage in planning and organizing their thoughts for effective expression. In addition, we prioritize vocabulary expansion and exposure to diverse stories, enriching their world knowledge.
 

Reading

Our reading program is designed to build a strong foundation in literacy. We teach consonants and vowel points systematically, progressing from the word level to sentences and full stories. This structured approach ensures that students develop strong decoding and comprehension skills.
 

Phonological Awareness

We recognize the importance of phonological awareness in early literacy. Our activities include dividing words into syllables, identifying initial and final letters, and engaging in rhyming exercises. These skills are crucial for reading fluency and accuracy.
 

Writing

Writing instruction at Nesach Yisrael adheres to standard writing rules. Students practice copying words and gradually progress to writing words from hearing alone. This method helps in developing both accuracy and fluency in written expression.

Weekly Torah Portion

Our curriculum includes a strong emphasis on Jewish studies, aligned with the annual cycle. Students explore the weekly Torah portion, learn stories of righteous individuals, and work on developing positive character traits. This component of our program instills a deep appreciation for our heritage and values.
 

Changing Topics/World Knowledge

We introduce students to a variety of topics, broadening their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. This dynamic approach keeps learning engaging and relevant.
 

Mathematics

Our mathematics program covers essential numeracy skills, including counting, enumeration, writing digits, and understanding the hundred board. Students learn to recognize symbols for greater than, less than, and equal to, and they practice solving word problems. We also focus on addition, subtraction, and recognizing geometric shapes.
 

Concepts and Categories

Students are introduced to key concepts and categories, helping them to organize and categorize information effectively.
 

Skills Development

Our comprehensive approach includes the development of both fine and gross motor skills.

• Fine Motor Skills: Activities such as cutting, correct grip, filling spaces, spreading plasticine, threading, and assembling help refine students' precision and control.

• Gross Motor Skills: We encourage physical activity through running, jumping, climbing, skipping, and exercises that strengthen the shoulder girdle and other body muscles. These activities are essential for overall physical development.

At Nesach Yisrael, we are committed to providing a holistic education that nurtures the intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth of our students.
