The JKHA seventh grade participated in a co-curricular trip to explore historical Philadelphia. They began their day with the opportunity to see “Freedom Rising” at the National Constitution Center which complemented their knowledge and understanding of the Bill of Rights. Next, they were able to visit the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and learn about the writing and signing of the Constitution. Students then learned about the beginnings of American Jewish history at Temple Mikveh Israel. Finally, there was friendly competition with an Independence Square scavenger hunt. It was a great way to expand the learning that occurs in the classroom, while spending the day bonding with teachers and friends.
