6th Grade Geniuses!
YHT Teachers Receive Grant from JEP
|
|
|
|
Albert Einstein said "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid". This idea, that all students have their own special strengths, is one of our core values at Yeshiva Har Torah. In keeping with the goals of our school to bring out the unique and special qualities of each student, 6th grade has embarked on a year-long project based loosely on the 20% time/Genius Hour model. Building on the design thinking strategies from 5th grade, and combining research, interdisciplinary learning, educational technology, and student-centered approaches, students have chosen topics to study and will create a prototype based on their learning to share with a wider audience later in the year. Thanks to a grant from the Jewish Education Project, students will have the opportunity to design and create websites, 3-D models, videos, and more! Mrs. Alissa Ossip, Mrs. Susan Rose, and Ms. Adina Bachrach, the three primary supervising teachers on this project, hope that students will enjoy their learning and find new connections between their personal interests and what they study here at YHT. Students are currently in the research phase of the project, learning more about their chosen topics, using the chromebooks and the incredible databases curated by our librarian, Mrs. Pilarski.
