City Hall Experience

We got to go to City-Hall on tuesday it was a really cool and fun experience. We got on the bus and it took 40-45 minutes for Hillel to get on the bus. We got there at around 1:45. When we got there we sat down and they gave us hat’s and sandwiches lunches. I ate the bread of the sandwich and ate my own lunch. When we were eating our lunches some people talked and The Mayor. Then the people called us by groups to get cake. When we were done with the cake. We got number stickers and got into groups.  We played a really fun game and you had to work together to solve the clues. I feel like it was a cool experience to see the Mayor talk about Israel’s birthday.

Jewish Studies Reflection

  1. Was the Experiential Exodus objective met? How do I know kindergartners learned what was intended? I feel like I could of done more about the learning part because it could of been more about the plagues instead of just a game.

 

  1. Were the kindergartners actively engaged? How do I know? I think they were confused at first but then they got it and it was fun.

 

  1. Did I alter my plan as I presented the experience from one group to the next? Why? No because it was fun the first time and pretty simple. So I just stuck with it.

 

  1. What additional assistance, support, and/or resources would have further enhanced this experience? Maybe more time. 

 

  1. If I had the opportunity to share the experience again with the same group of kindergarteners, would I do anything differently? What? Why? I would make it more educational about the plagues.
