Extension offers a deeper understanding of Jewish ethics, values and wisdom, and further connects students to Jewish learning in a way that is meaningful to them. Lessons run parallel to and build on weekly SRE lessons.
Extension incorporates STEM and STEAM approaches to provide experience-based learning that promotes curiosity and creates a vibrant, interactive classroom that foster a sense of Jewish pride in students.
Examples of the types of activities students take part in during Extension include:
- Students learning about Jewish Legends (and a legend involving the moon) participate in a Science experiment where they learn how the moon shines;
- when learning about Chanukah, students make their own light switch.
