Roots and Routes: Western States Jewish History for Fourth Grade
Roots and Routes: Western States Jewish History for Fourth Grade is a curriculum is for fourth graders in Western states (California, Oregon, Washington, Utah) in either day schools or religious schools. Each state is its own self-contained unit, with the expectation that each state will only study its own unit. With these lessons, students can feel connected to the Jews who came before them who built up the communities they belong to today. This curriculum, at its heart, is about Jewish identity and assimilation and the importance of Jewish community. These are universal ideas that are still relevant to the Jewish community today and will help set learners up for success as they continue to explore Jewish history.
