Differentiated Instructions through the use of Muli-sensory felt boards
Research has shown that multi-sensory learning stimulates more neural pathways in the brain. I created Judaic themed, multi-sensory felt boards to be used in the classroom to drive differentiated instruction. The felt boards are used to address the different learning styles and interests of my students.
Interactive Haggadah Shel Pesach and Hilchot Chag HaPesach
These digital Haggadah and Halacha documents are colorful, interactive, and engaging. They include the full text of the Haggadah, commentaries on the Haggadah, and various relevant video clips. Teachers can make a copy for each student on Google Classroom, and once the slides have been completed, teachers can print and bind the pages.
Shake Your Lulav!
This is a Google Slide presentation about the mitzva of Ushpizin, welcoming honorary guests into the sukkah, which integrates content and skill building, as well as Hebrew language acquisition. It was originally designed for use as a flipped classroom.
בכל דור ודור – B’chol Dor Va’dor
“B’chol Dor Va’dor” is an independent anchor activity for accelerated Tanakh students that encourages meaningful inter-textual exploration of Tanakh requiring creativity and reflection. Students identified underlying themes of Pessach by analyzing eighteen events in Tanakh that took place on the dates of Pessach. Their work culminated in the creation of their own Seder Symbols which were then used at their family sedarim to help enhance the experience of these themes on Pessach.
Morah Nechama Konigsberg
In this presentation, I describe three elements that combined make my Judaic studies learning environment unique: whole group and small group learning, using the classroom environment as a tool and resource, and multi-sensory learning.
Tashlich STEAM Waterfall
This project was planned for grades TK-8 to participate in a school-wide STEAM project to learn about Rosh Hashana, Tikkun Olan, Teshuvah, and Tashlich. The project included integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math into Judaic Studies.
Judaism Revealed
The units of the Judaism Revealed program are lessons and units utilizing the “Understanding By Design” methodology as a springboard to build a curriculum that does not sacrifice depth, meaning and Jewish content when creating a universal message for a multi-denominational elementary school audience. The lessons delve into the depth of the holiday allowing the students to taste the relevance that the holiday has for them in the 21st century.
