Moon Kaleidoscopes

Grade/Class: Grade 3 

Context: Students are learn about Tu Bishvat with a particular focus on natural cycles (machzorim) that exist in the world.

Learning: In Grade Three, students creatively crafted their own kaleidoscopes to demonstrate the phases of the moon. This project was connected to their learning about Tu BiShvat and the natural cycles, or machzorim, created by Hashem that exist in the world. Through this hands-on activity, students not only deepened their understanding of lunar phases but also gained a greater appreciation for the cyclical patterns in nature, recognizing the divine design in the world around them. This made their study of Tu BiShvat both engaging and spiritually meaningful.
