From measuring everyday objects to testing theories in the physics lab, our students are learning by doing. Across every grade, Mishpacha’s classrooms are filled with interactive challenges, creative projects, and dedicated teachers guiding every step of the way.
In fourth grade, an ordinary math lesson became a hands-on investigation. While studying units of length, students compared which tools worked best for measuring different objects, from notebooks to tables and doors. Along the way, they learned how to choose the right units and apply their math skills to the world around them.
Seventh graders put their curiosity and problem-solving skills to work in two lessons. In geometry, they investigated triangles by asking questions, testing hypotheses, and uncovering geometric properties for themselves. In history, they competed in teams on the origins of Rus-Ukraine. The same lesson included a STEM workshop where they made their own paint, bringing history, science, and creativity together.
Ninth graders began a new Jewish studies course, Shamor VeZachor, which looks at how Jewish history and traditions are passed from generation to generation. Their first lesson came with two unusual challenges: transferring water between glasses without spilling a drop, and identifying Jewish objects with their eyes closed. Both activities showed, in a memorable way, how important it is to preserve our heritage and pass it on to future generations.
Meanwhile, our tenth graders stepped into the role of scientists during a physics lab with teacher Natalia Volodymyrivna Hontarenko. Studying circular motion, they examined its characteristics, performed calculations, and drew conclusions from their findings. Putting theory into practice gave them a clearer understanding of the principles behind movement.
From everyday problems to complex scientific ideas, each lesson gives our children another chance to see what they’re capable of. A heartfelt thank you to our teachers, whose creativity, patience, and commitment make learning such an exciting part of life at Mishpacha!
