We Value What Everyone Has To Say!

mwasherstein / January 14, 2019 / Grade 6 - Mr. Washerstein

Today the Shinshinim visited the Grade 6 class during Jewish Studies! Liam and Inbar taught our class about the value of appreciating multiple perspectives. Students were asked to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood from two different perspectives (Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf). This role playing exercise gave students the opportunity to put themselves in someone else’s shoes. Students watched a TED Talk that explained the importance of listening to all accounts of story before making an informed decision. The Shinshinim used this activity as an introduction to a larger study of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. They will be working with our Grade 6 class to teach them about the conflict, incorporating a variety of perspectives.

Grade 6: Jewish Studies Update

mwasherstein / December 19, 2018 / Grade 6 - Mr. Washerstein

This week we will be concluding our discussion of the Tefillin and Tallit. We learned the blessings, discussed various practices, and reviewed the purpose behind each mitzvah. Our class continues to improve upon our text analysis skills. We also spent time reviewing the concept of courage and lessons that can be learned for Chanukah. After the break, we will be continuing our trek through the Jewish Life Cycle.

Grade 6: Jewish Studies Update

mwasherstein / October 12, 2018 / Grade 6 - Mr. Washerstein

Shabbat Shalom!

We have begun discussing the Jewish life cycle in our Jewish Studies class. This week the students brainstormed and created a diagram to predict the various steps of the life cycle.

We have begun taking notes in class on key information.

Here is the link for our classes Google Slides Presentation. These slides contain our notes/activity information. Students are asked to copy/type (their choice) the bolded information into their respective notes section. Each student should have a section of their binder/ a separate Google Doc to contain and organize their notes in one place.

Students have also been assigned the Mishpacha Project. This project asks students to interview parents/family members to learn more about their family history. Students should also be researching their Hebrew name as well. Attached you will find that assignment and corresponding rubric.

Students will be asked to present the project starting on Friday October 19th. Students have the option to either create a slide show on the computer or a poster to present their family history/Hebrew name research.
