Textbook: All students will need to purchase a copy of Hakol Chadash Aleph. Each student should have their own copy as we do write in the book. The book can be purchased from https://www.israelbookshop.com/hakol-chadash-i.html or http://www.sifrutake.com/scripts/main.cgi?action=big&product=EB106. Parents should keep in mind that stock is limited, and shipping times/costs can vary so students should ideally enroll in the class and purchase the text as soon as possible to ensure timely delivery. This text will also be used in Modern Hebrew Language 1B. 

Students should also have access to a notebook for this class and index cards for making flashcards.

Students should also have access to common classroom supplies such as paper, pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, etc.

There are additional materials and assignments that will be provided by the teacher in the classroom space during the class. Please note that it is expected that students will have these assignments printed out for the appropriate lesson. 

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Kahoot
Quizlet

This course, along with all my Hebrew courses, is taught from a secular and academic perspective. Parents should note that the textbook utilized is intended for recent immigrants to Israel (the only nation where Modern Hebrew is the official language) and some content does include information about Israeli geography and life.

The textbook can be difficult to obtain so students are encouraged to enroll and purchase the materials as early as possible. 

Parents should be aware that Hebrew is a gendered language and that there is no accepted terminology in use for individuals who prefer they/them pronouns. In Hebrew They/Them has two forms: one for a group of men or a mixed gendered group and one for a group of women. Additionally, using plural terms for one individual in a language that is brand new for students may lead to additional confusion Traditionally, when gender is unknown (such as asking, “Who lives in the house?”) it defaults to masculine singular. Students who are interested in taking this class or parents of those students that prefer they/them pronouns should reach out to me to determine what they would prefer to use in context of this class.
