Guiding Questions: How do we mark time in a Jewish way? How do we mark Jewish time in nature?
Participants: grades K-5
Duration: 4 months
This was a whole school project, which lasted for four months, culminating in family event on May 23. Each class focused on a different part of the farm.
K-1 made signs for the Rainbow Garden, complete with promises for the earth, just as the rainbow is God’s promise to us.
2-3 made signs for the compost, choosing different texts and also practical compost suggestions.
4-5 made signs about Jewish values, and for the first verse in Mishnah Peah ["These are the things without measure: the peah, the first fruits, the pilgrimage holidays, acts of loving kindness, the study of Torah."]
Early arrival and the Teva group made signs for the calendar garden complete with descriptions of each month with what is growing on the farm and in the garden.
