30 GRADE SEVEN DISCOVERING MY ROOTS / SHORASHIM This multidisciplinary program in Judaic and general studies has students dive deep into their family's story in a personal way. Teamed with ANU, Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, the program engages students with their unique Jewish identity. Using technology, research and presentation skills, students trace their family tree, learn the meaning of their names, interview family and reflect on artifacts. FINANCIAL LITERACY Using interactive software, group activities and discussion, a specialist teaches students the basics of financial life. The seeds of financial ethics take root. Students look at real-world questions including: • How do we save money? • What is debt? • Why do we pay taxes? • How much does it cost to feed, clothe and house a family? EFFECTS OF OIL SPILLS Students learn about the causes and effects of oil spills and ways to remove oil from water. They research and select the most effective ways and share why. Students then research a well-known oil spill and its effects on the environment. They compare findings with their experiment and review the methods that most resemble the famous oil spill clean-up. Students then present recommendations on how to avoid future spills. DEBATING FOR GOLD Students on RHA's Debate Team learn the art and science of advocacy and rebuttal while they hone their presentation skills to compete in an annual tournament. RHA has a proud debating legacy — our students take home gold year after year.
