The past few weeks have been eventful in the Kitah Vav
classroom. We studied the story of Ruth and Naomi by performing skits for each
other in groups; the class was once again able to demonstrate their enthusiasm
and inventive staging with this story of friendship and family. We also took a
long look at King Solomon, and the stories of his wisdom and how he attained
it. We spent considerable time examining some of the proverbs attributed to
him. Students performed close readings of proverbs from Writings, extrapolating their meanings and finding examples of
where they felt they did and did not apply in everyday life, using both instances
from their own lives and from literature and popular culture. We finished this
unit by examining some modern proverbs we use today, and their meanings and
contexts.
