Grade 1
Mandi Brooks-grade 1
I attended Yachad when I was in high school and then I was confirmed. Following my confirmation I began teaching religious schools at Temple Sinai. I’ve been teaching Hebrew school for about 15 years. I am very passionate about teaching and I enjoy making religious school fun and enjoyable for my students. I love swimming and swam competitively when I was in high school and college.
Dear First Grade Parents,
Welcome! My name is Mandi Brooks and I’m delighted to be your child’s hebrew school teacher. I have been teaching at Temple Sinai for over 17 years and I have taught 6th grade special education for 10 years. I’m currently a stay at home mom and love spending my free time with my family and friends!
I have a great year planned for the first graders, filled with exciting and engaging topics, crafts and games. I urge you to contact with me with any questions, comments or concerns. I can be reached by phone at (860-841-0346) or by email, mbrooks@templesinaict.org.
I look forward to working with all of you this school year!
L’Shana Tova,
Mandi Brooks
