In Judaic Studies, the students are working on their Heroes from the Bible and their ancestors that they are inviting as their guests to the Sukkah. This week a different guest from the past called "Ushpizin", is invited to our Sukkah in spirit. They come to help us fulfill the Mitzvah of celebrating Sukkot and being happy. Chag Sameach to you and yours! Looking at Intellectual Intersections in Social StudiesStudents combine multiple prompts of depth and complexity to create intellectual intersections that explore ideas on a deeper level. After listening Mrs. Hechtman read a passage about the First Californians, students responded to the prompt with fascinating details that used details to show change over time within the passage and related it to the beginning of their unit of study about the Native Americans in California. Above is an image that shows the progression of the introductory lesson for the California Native Americans unit. Students used intellectual intersections to first examine how details from the passage show change over time. Next, they analyzed the passage for proof or evidence of natural resources within the text and finally, they examined the idea that the environment is both powerful and a source of power. The fourth graders are exploring the Torah, practicing the prayers before reading the Torah. Upcoming DatesWednesday, 10/22 - Field Trip to the Banning Museum
