Grades 1-2 students will practice using rhyming words in songs and listen to a story about the life cycle of a butterfly. Mrs. Goose will ask questions about the story and share some fun facts about butterflies. Students will interact with Mrs. Goose by discovering mystery rhyming words and using these words to make a future book. They will end their session with a memory game.
The Temple Museum of Religious Art recently acquired a collection of 45 Holocaust Wall Hangings by artist Judith Weinshall Liberman that visually depict historic maps, scenes and philosophic concepts regarding the history of the Holocaust. The first lesson is a presentation featuring the Holocaust Wall Hangings, including the work “Europe 1945”. The students explore the creative process, interpretation, and explore how an artist honors historical memory. The second lesson is a conversation with local Cleveland Holocaust survivors describing their experiences using his own writings and artifacts. Both lessons analyze how history is interpreted by examining historic documents, eyewitness accounts from Holocaust survivors and shared artistic interpretations of the artist’s works.
