“What brings peace?” we asked 4th and 5th grade children.

Things that fit together harmoniously, they said.

Like Legos.

Like us.

The process is the product. HOW we learn is WHAT we will learn. #foundobjectsculpture #educatorinstitute #jewishenrichment

Photo 1: colorful scarves and paper flowers drip down the sides of a cellophane covered table. Small wooden people chat on top and below. This pair of builders believed that community is an important part of the process. We create best as part of a group.

Photo 2: an educator explains their found object sculpture. There’s a drum upside down in the center of the table with a wooden bowl balanced on top. In the bowl is a small wooden heart. In the heart is a small blue sparkly treasure. Around the drum are straight pipe cleaners and small round colorful pom poms. This pair of builders appreciate that some ideas build on others until you can uncover the heart of it all, while other times the ideas stay on the side, ready for a different project.

Photo 3: two educators chat as they create about their understanding of the phrase, “The process is the product.”

Building together is tremendous fun!

Making our values visible at Educator Institute. It’s how we learn to listen closely to children while staying true to our educational aims.

Photo: Post-its written by educators surround a middle school graffiti board about what it means to be created in the image of God. “I can create my own understandings of Jewish text/ideas,” one note says.

“I can have different ideas. I can have different ideas about Judaism from other people,” another note says. A third note adds, “We can talk about God as a character without having to believe that God is real. No one will tell you what to think or believe.”
