Proverbs, 1999-2000

The sixth grade curriculum is a survey of Tanach - the Bible. Students have their own Tanach and it serves as the basis of study all year. Our students recently studied Proverbs. They worked at understanding Proverbs and illustrating them to express their meaning. Finally students were asked to write their own proverbs. Their proverbs were to be on the themes of love, criticism or friendship.

Loyalty to your friends. Don’t treat your friends badly or they will make friends with you worst enemies. -M

One to find them
One to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.

He who knows true wisdom. -NW
