Grades K-2: Snow Much Fun!

Winter can be a dreary time when students are wishing to be outside and productivity in the classroom seems to dwindle. Pump up your students with a little bit of winter fun while they learn about the seasonal changes in weather and explore snowflakes at the same time! An introduction to "Snowflake Bentley" and his snowflake theories and photography, will help students connect geometry and math to the weather.

Grades 9-12: 1945: Witness to War - Holocaust Survivors & Artists

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 connection is a presentation featuring the Holocaust Wall Hangings. The students explore the creative process, interpretation, and explore how an artist honors historical memory.

The second connection is a conversation with a local Cleveland Holocaust survivor describing their experiences during World War II. 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.
