Dear Parents,
Our class has started a new unit on the history of
Michigan's and Detroit's Jewish community. We have had an educator from the
Jewish Historical Society of Michigan work with the students this past Tuesday
and for the next month. They have
brought Detroit's Jewish history to life, using an interactive curriculum
designed for religious school students from 5th - 7th grade. The students were introduced this week, to
early pioneers who traveled by canoe from Montreal, Canada and returned for
Rosh Hashanah every year. We played a game, using Yiddish expressions and
learned about the ways these entrepreneurs made a living. It was lots of fun
and the kids really enjoyed it. They were sent home with a form to fill out
about their personal history. Please help them complete this for Tues. if they
were absent I will give them a copy on Sunday.
Our class really absorbed the materials taught and had
fun while doing so. We are all excited about be a part of this educational
program.
Any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Cillia Kleiman
