Shalom 7th grade parents! Welcome to 7th grade AND welcome to our brand new 7th grade blogger page! Here you can stay up-to-speed with the class as we move through the 5775 B'nai Mitzvah year!
I am so honored to have the pleasure of teaching your kids. I thank you for sharing them with me and I look forward to learning and exploring together.
My mission, as your child’s Morah, is to superignite their individual and communal connections to Judaism and to their Jewish identities. I want them to leave 7th grade empowered to be active Jewish adults; conduits of tikkun olam in the community that surrounds them.
Our Curriculum:
-Jewish History (The History of the Jewish People)
-The birth of Zionism to the present
-Maus by Art Spiegelman
-”Where Do You Give” AJWS Tzedakah Curriculum
-The Parashah Project
Much of the learning will take place in the classroom through interactive debates, Jewish text study, short films, and independent reflection but I cannot emphasize enough the role, as parents, that you play in reinforcing this learning, especially as the questions raised in class will be intertwined with issues of identity, responsibility and personal and Jewish values. I hope you will help me by keeping the conversation alive between classes.
I want to be in close contact with you. I want you to know what we are covering in class and to know how your kids are doing. In turn, I also want you to feel comfortable reaching out to me. Below is my email address. Please use it!

I can’t wait to get rolling! Yallah!
B’Shalom,
Morah Mikey
