"We use Let's Discover the Synagogue and Let's Discover the Holidays in kindergarten. We integrated them into our curriculum easily, because they are user-friendly and grade-appropriate. The teacher loves them. She sends the folders home with the students, because the parents tell us they learn from them, too.
