Grades 7-8: Treaty of Versailles Guided Notes

How could the Holocaust happen?

As we continue to study and analyze the various components of the Grade 8 Jewish Studies curriculum, this week we are beginning to set up the Holocaust. Rather than diving directly into the start of the Holocaust, the Grade 8 class is learning about WWI. This foundation will play a very important role in understanding the historical context in which the Holocaust begins.

Attached you will find the WWI/Treaty of Versailles Presentation and Guided Notes Packet. This will be useful for any students who missed any of the notes during class. Students should review their notes throughout the week.

A Sweet Inter-Curricular Activity. Hebrew, Cookies and Mitzvot.

What to do with the knowledge acquired in class? What about the information generated in a class focused on food? How can we ensure that this knowledge not only remains in language but also incorporates Jewish values? These are questions that arose during conversations with some of my colleagues, and the answer was found in organizing an activity where students can experience it firsthand. And what better way to do this than by supporting the Mitzvah Trips program led by Mr. Wash!
After reaching this conclusion, I shared the idea with the students in the class, and it was very well-received. The plan was to apply the knowledge, skills, and vocabulary acquired over the past two months to contribute to others. Consequently, it was decided to make Parve sugar (Sukar) cookies, with a practical class conducted in Hebrew. The students translated the recipe (Matkon) from English to Hebrew and created a sign to attach to the bags.
Upon discussing it with Mr. Wash, it was decided that for the Mitzvah Trip on November 23, the eighth-grade students would deliver these cookies (Uguiot) to the residents of Hillel Lodge. This week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the students dedicated their time to prepare the dough (Batzek), bake (Le’efot) the cookies, and assemble individual bags (Sakiot) with the signs to distribute them on Thursday. The experience was enriching both in terms of Hebrew and Jewish values. A sweet and meaningful gesture!
Thank you Mr. Wash for your help!
Great job guys! Here are some pics!

“Trips” (Tiyulim) unit for the 6th Grade Hebrew Core Class

Hi, everybody!

I’m excited to present you all the blog for the 6th Grade Hebrew Core Class.
We are working on the topic of “Trips” (Tiyulim). For that, we have been working with different strategies and materials like, songs, Israeli websites, online activities, answer questions about daily basis knowledge to encourage oral expression, reading texts, translation and games. All of this so the students can start building new vocabulary and reinforcing the one that they already have.  The goal, is to make a project about a place in Israel of their interest (they already chose it) and present it in a creative way.
Yulie- Javat Susim Dror (Horse Farm Dror).
Ben- Muzeon Israel (Israel Museum).
Alma-Hamitzpe Hatat Yami (Submarine Observatory).
Sadie- Park Sha’ashuim “Superland” (“Superland” Amusement Park).

The students have been working in vocabulary like: parking lot (janaia), weather (mezeg ha’avir), telephone number (mispar telephone), address (chtobet), museum (muzion), art (omanut), exhibition (taaruja), to enjoy (lehenot), to learn (lilmod), and many more. With all of this words, the students are making a dictionary (milon), categorize the vocabulary in Nouns (shemot etzem), Verbs (shemot poal) and Adjectives (shemot toar) and practicing and understanding how to do the root (shoresh) from a shem poal so they can practice and understand how to conjugate in Present Tense (zman hove).

Keep tune for the Project Presentations!
Shabbat Shalom!

Grade 6: Shabbat Program at Hillel Lodge

On Friday the Grade 6 students went to Hillel Lodge for a Shabbat Program. Students sang Kabbalat Shabbat prayers and got to know the residents. Together they completed Shabbat-themed crossword puzzles, word searches, and coloring activities. This was a beautiful way for both the students and the residents to welcome in Shabbat together.

 

 

Visiting Israel class event

We just started a really special unit in class called “Visiting Israel.” This unit will take us on a virtual trip to Israel and will be taught throughout all of our middle school years. It began with all the students writing about why they want to go to Israel and why it’s important to them.

In our classroom, we made it feel like Israel for a day. Everyone sat around a table, shared their thoughts about Israel, and ate Israeli snacks. It was fun but also very emotional. The students asked me what Israel means to me. I told them that Israel is like a home to me, a place where I feel safe because I am Jewish. It’s a big part of my heart. Talking about Israel in a time of war made us all feel sad. We talked about how it’s tough to see Israel having problems. It’s like seeing a friend or family member in trouble and wanting to help them. We invited Dr Mitzmacher to join us and share what Israel means to him.

This unit isn’t just about learning where Israel is or its history. It’s about understanding what Israel means to people and feeling close to it. We’re just starting, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll learn and how we’ll feel about Israel as we keep going in our unit.

Here are some examples of what the students wrote in answer for the question: ” why do you want to visit Israel? Please see individual student blogs for their reflection on this class event.
