Hebrew Center Based learning

Above are examples of the Hebrew learning centers. (From left to right)

Reading center:
This ever-changing center was a standard option for early finishers.

Mega Block Center:
I used a Sharpie to write the Hebrew letters and vowels on Mega Blogs and created a check list to use to build word towers (and practice spelling).

Dictionary Center:
The pink milk crates were a great way to keep their personalized dictionary worksheets organized. Which were then put in binders and sent home at the end of the year.

The numbered trays on the black shelves represent the learning center options available to students. All of the centers used the same words they added into their dictionaries. To the right of the photo, it is possible to see part of the poster students referred to when they got stuck. Student learned to return the trays (the shelves were coordinated to match the numbered trays) and clean up their areas independently at the end of each lesson.

Salty letters:
Students traced their names in glue then sprinkled salt and painted with watercolors to create this amazing effect.  This project works best if you can use black construction paper.

Word Dice Center:

The goal of this center was to reinforce the "The silent Shva" vowel. When it appears in the middle of the word, it divides the word into syllables.  Students roll the dice, connect the word with a dry erase marker on the laminated list then read it aloud. 

Nothing like a center based learning environment to create a independent and fun Hebrew class!
