Connecting Through Art

Posted On ז׳ בשבט ה׳תשע״ב (January 31, 2012) by Morah Marissa

For the past few weeks, the SK students have been working hard to complete their mini-creation books in art class. As we have spent a great deal of time learning about the 7 days of creation, the students immersed themselves in this reflective piece at the end of our unit. Through art, the students represented each of the things that God created on each day of creation and grappled with the challenge of representing “light” (Day 1) and “Shabbat” (Day 7) through art.

Once these books were complete, the SK students had an amazing opportunity to connect with the Grade 3 class to share with them all that they had learned about the 7 days of creation. Putting on their teacher hats, the SK students showed off their books and explained what was created on each day and how they chose to represent each one in their mini-creation book.

Here are some photos from that exciting morning:
