This spring Behrman House introduced two student journals, Jewish Holidays, Jewish Values and Our Place in the Universe, together with free game packs, that will help students construct their learning in new ways.
With Jewish Holiday, Jewish Values your 4th through 6th grade students will discover how the Jewish values we learn from our holiday stories and traditions can guide them in making good decisions every day. They will be able to experience a full year of Jewish Holidays and create connections between what they believe and how they live.
Jewish Holidays, Jewish Values Game Pack includes:
-Shavuot Word find
-Passover Word find
-Shabbat Crossword
-Yom Ha'atma'ut Crossword

Jewish wisdom and tradition can guide us in our relationship to the environment with Our Place in the Universe. 6th-8th grade students use checklists, personality quizzes, debate topics, and writing prompts to develope their own understanding of how the choices we make each day can be influenced by the values we hold as Jews.
