Dear Parents,

It was my pleasure to meet you today at school. I hope that you enjoyed the Special Person Day performances, and saw how much your child grew and progressed with his/her Hebrew. The children were very proud of themselves, being able to sing and speak Hebrew with confidence and with clear voices.

As you know, oral expression and public speaking in Hebrew are two of our main focuses this year. Your child has many opportunities to express himself/ herself in Hebrew, and practice given conversations with classmates. All that defiantly contributes to your child's ability to speak, sing and perform in Hebrew.

Upcoming Grammar quiz:

Thank you,

The new school year is starting

Dear parents,

The new school year is starting, and I'm very thankful for the opportunity to be your child's Hebrew teacher. Currently, based on your child’s achievements in Hebrew last year and final test score, your child has been assigned to the high level Hebrew class. However, during the first month of the school year, there are often changes in class level assignments. If you have any question about your child’s class assignment, please contact me.
We are heading toward an exciting year, learning Hebrew through an age appropriate Hebrew chapter book, Hebrew news paper, grammar and more. My classes will be based on the principal of Ivrit B'Ivrit.
As always, the Hebrew department promotes open communication between parents to teachers and vice versa. This will enable you, as a parent, to know what your child is learning in Hebrew class, as well as tests and assignment schedule.
To reach this goal, you can check my blog, which will be updated often, and will contain the homework assignments, as well as quizzes and tests schedule. You will also receive reminder emails, before tests and other assignments.

Please feel free to contact me with any question.
You can reach me via phone at the school: (614) 864-0299 x114 or via email at: ggolan@toraacademy.org , or check my blog at http://ggolan.blogspot.com/

Looking forward to a wonderful school year,

Sincerely,

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Galit Golan, and I’m the Hebrew coordinator in CTA, as well as a Hebrew teacher for the 5th grade, and two of the upper school grades.

I was born and raised in Israel. I served in the Israeli military and right after that started gain my higher education in Tel Aviv University, where I received my Bachelor degree In Jewish history and Hebrew literature. I received my teaching diploma with honor from Bar Ilan University in Israel, and now in the process of completing my master’s degree. I worked many years as a teacher, a Hebrew director and curricula developer.

I believe that a relaxing and encouraging learning environment enables the student to learn more, and to enjoy the learning process better.

My main goals this year are:

●To continue bringing enthusiasm and excitement to the classrooms.

●To improve the student’s phonetic reading in Hebrew by tracking their levels and progress, and implementing a new approach, based on the “Hebrew Reading Magic” curriculum.

●To implement our spiral curriculum for grades 6th-12th, based on the school’s philosophy and specific educational needs.

● Support parents, students and new hebrew teachers, with all their Hebrew needs.

Please free to contact me regarding any concern you might have, or with any new ideas for the Hebrew program.

Galit Golan
