Judaic Studies
In Judaics class, we have been moving through our Jewish year, learning about the New Year for trees during Tu Bishvat, moving through the book of Shemot watching Moses’s rise from helpless baby floating in the reeds to chosen prophet of G-d during the encounter at the burning bush.
The 6th grade has just finished an introduction to positive and negative numbers, something they will be seeing for the remainder of their math careers. Following this introduction, we are moving right into the coordinate plane. The coordinate plane offers so many opportunities to bring the real world into the classroom. We will be doing some of the following: creating a treasure map, designing a house, graphing art, planning a road trip, or mapping population. It is a very exciting topic that the students always enjoy!
