Hard to believe the summer is gone and the school year is starting up once more. In anticipation of this seventh grade year, we've put our heads together to get this year off to a great start.
What I'm going to be teaching this year is the Great Debates throughout Jewish History. We'll get a chance to look back at the different thinkers and ideas which have helped form our thoughts about Jewish life and culture to this day. I'm very much looking forward to this opportunity to work with all the students and hearing their ideas and opinions on the different debates.
Throughout the year we will also be doing different electives, and if the kids put forward any ideas of what they'd like to learn during that time that would be great!
In addition to working in the classroom, Aviv and I have started a blog for the whole seventh grade class. This will be a place where you can check out what we've learned during a Sunday, get updates on what we'll be doing in the coming weeks and, starting a conversation online.
The address for the blog is http://seventhgradecbe.blogspot.com/ . The first thing you'll see is this letter.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions at all, and of course you can definitely use the comment section of the blog to do that as well.
My email is bchalmer@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
