Grade 6/7 Update

What do you think of when you think of the word elderly? Our class started off our new unit, Connecting Generations, with this essential question. Answers ranged from stereotypes about old age, and then were connected to personal experiences with grandparents, like hard candy, baking, and playing games. It is interesting to listen to the middle school perspective of what old and ancient mean! In this upcoming unit, we will focus on Judaism’s perspective on different generations and ages. Much like our previous unit about inclusion, we will focus on how to interact respectfully with people from all generations.
