Hello 5th Grade Families,
Yesterday's class was a spectacular one. We built upon the previous homework assignment and had a discussion about bias in the news. What was different about the tone of the articles you read from both the Israeli and Palestinian news sources?
I found the students' responses to be mature and thoughtful. I was very impressed.
This week's homework on the Israeli army will culminate in class with some Israeli army training! This will help students begin to understand what 18 year old Israelis go through when they graduate high school.
Our class is gearing up to raise money for Yemin Orde, a school for orphans and immigrants in Israel close to Haifa. More on this to come...
Shalom,
Micah and Ariana
