Welcome Dear Parents,
Social Studies in 6th Grade Mazel Day School has kicked off tremendously!
Over the last few weeks, we have been learning the basic Geography of the United States. We learned the names of all 50 States, as well as their capitals. The students are going to have an interactive Bingo Game on U.S. capitals this coming Thursday (October 3rd), with the winner getting an automatic 100% on the Capitals Quiz (October 7th). Needless to say, the students are really pumped to review through a fun-filled Game.
Furthermore, we are excited to announce the upcoming debate (October 23) for Mayor of New York that will be taking place in our very classroom! No, Mr. Lhota and Mr. Di Blassio won't be coming; rather, the class will be divided into two parts and speak on their behalf. Stay tuned for pictures and summaries!
Next week, we will also begin our theme of the year: How America Became the Nation It Is Today. Sub-topics and projects will be in areas of Manifest Destiny, Immigration, Slavery and Industrialization. As the students do work in these areas, we will, G-d Willing, post updates regarding their progress!
Best Wishes,
Mendel Berlin
