Grain/Melachot/Sixth Grade Teaches

We are learning about grain as part of our lesson on nutrition and brachot. The sixth grade boys are learning about the 39 melachot. Because of their studies of "the order of bread", they are experts in the process of wheat to flour.

The boys were kind enough to share their expertise with us with an incredible demonstration.

planting/plowing

reaping/gathering

Threshing/winnowing/sorting

 Grinding 

 Everyone took a turn grinding

 Sifting

 Then the boys gave each student a wheat stalk.

It was amazing for the pre-Kers to learn from the "big boys". Everyone is a teacher.
When Tiny Tots came outside for recess, Ava gave students from the younger class a demonstration of turning wheat into flour.
