Kitah Hey Update


Dear Parents,

 Our learners have begun our initial steps focusing on the Passover Seder. As you already know we are participating in a Project Based Learning unit on Passover. Project based learning engages students in curricular content in ways that are exciting, relevant, and meaningful.  The kids have already decided what portion of the Seder interests them and what they would like to learn more about & share with the rest of the class. The children will be working in groups creating together,  a detailed presentation about the history and meaning about a particular portion of the Seder. They will present it in mid April, when we get back from vacation, which is right before Passover. They were very proud of their Chanukah projects & are eager to work on Passover. The small groups really work as a team, so if you could try and get them to Religious school it would be very helpful. We don't have a lot of time to work on this. On March 13, our class is visiting "Jewish Detroit" and will have a few classes given by a Detroit Jewish Historical Society educator. You are invited to join us on this wonderful tour. 

As you can see we have a very busy and exciting semester ahead. I appreciate you working with me to help educate your children in their Jewish heritage.

 
Shabbat Shalom
