Eighth Graders Bond in Jerusalem

Our eighth graders are active and in Israel right now. We've got gobs of pictures that we hope you'll check out. When the students arrived in Israel, they participated in team-building activities, went to Machane Yehuda (the shuk) for lunch, and visited the Kotel on Friday night for Shabbat. Saturday night they visited the ever-happening Ben Yehuda. On Sunday, they spent time at Yad Vashem, Mt. Herzl, the Herzl Museum, and they visited the graves of Theodore Herzl, Yitzhak Rabin, and Hannah Senesh.





Stay tuned for more updates from our students abroad.

Go! Geography Stops by South Africa!

On our most recent adventures in Go! Geography, our After-School Enrichment Class, students visited the African continent and South Africa! Our seventh-, fifth-, and first-grade assistants did a great job with the students as they learned so much.

Students mapped their way from New Jersey to South Africa, explored the African Continent, and discussed endangered species like elephants and rhinoceroses. Greetings were learned in Zulu and Afrikaans, and the shortage of fresh clean water in Africa was discussed. There was unique South African foods, sports -- like rugby -- and even a South African beading activity.

Most importantly, students focused their attention on the environment. At the end of the class, the students will decide on an environmental charity where we will send a small donation and a story written by the students, assistants, and teachers about what they've learned and are planning to learn!




Stay tuned for our next adventure! And, if you missed our other adventures, you can find them here.
