6th Grade: Family Interview Project Assigned

This week, students were assigned the “6th Grade Yachad Family Interview Project.”

For this project, students will learn more about the history of their family by interviewing their oldest living relative who has a connection to Judaism. This could be a grandparent, aunt, uncle, parent, cousin, etc. After the interview, each student will create a presentation which they will present in class. These presentation will be during Yachad in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of December. Presentation date sign-ups will be emailed by your student’s Jewish studies teacher the 1st week in December. You can view the assignment here.

Students, submit your project proposal by November 13th.

Students will have time to work on this project during Yachad.
