Ms. Kletenik and Mrs. Simon received a microgrant from the Jewish Education Project to pilot a unit utilizing the school’s makerspace to bring textual gemara concepts to life. The unit, focusing on
Tashmishai Kedusha
,
holy items in mesechet Megilla, encouraged students to use Design Thinking strategies and “failing forward” to build and demonstrate concepts from the gemara. The unit culminated in a museum display of the students’ creations. The projects were graded by the students themselves, using a rubric that the class created for the project. For example, some students designed models of shul furniture and identified the Jewish laws applying to how one should treat and dispose of the various items. The integration of text study and Design Thinking was so powerful and brought meaning to what would otherwise be abstract concepts. The students were excited to build and create, rather than simply sit and read a text. The microgrant from the Jewish Education Project helped YHT purchase important items for the project, including building materials and sewing machines. The unit will become a regular part of the curriculum going forward. Next time you are in school, make sure to stop by and see our museum in the lobby!

Some of you may have seen a new product on the shelf lately:
BLUEBERRY CHEERIOS
! and with this product you may have seen the news:
Box Tops is (slowly) going digital.
What does this mean for Box Tops collection? For now, nothing
. All currently valid Box Tops will be honored through their expiration date, into 2022. But there will start to be opportunities for clip-free box tops to be earned, simply by scanning receipts with qualifying purchases - even simply linking store cards to automatically earn them! Stay tuned for more updates including how to scan your own receipts or just send them in for us, as things develop over the next two to three years.
As always, don't forget that YOU'RE "the tops." We couldn't do this without you.
