K-6 Elementary School I love the enthusiasm that reverberates in the children. They re just words, until you step inside a Maimonides Kindergarten classroom. The curiosity in a student s face and a teacher s attentiveness tell the story of learning in action. Children are understood to be a promise for the future a promise that is being realized in each moment in and out of the classroom.
Classes are small and staffed by two teachers to ensure a high level of attention to each student.
The co-teachers collaborate on lessons and activities, such as a havdalah lesson that leads to a discussion about the stars. Torah portion, children bake a rainbow cake and learn the Hebrew names of colors. Hebrew language study begins with the alef bet and continues with lessons tailored to students developing abilities. The Hebrew calendar is highlighted through the year with Shabbat and holiday celebrations. Math and science lessons apply concepts to the world children see around them.
