For every Middah the following are included:

A Scroll: This is a page with a portrayal of an open scroll that can be used to introduce the middah and then hung on a wall throughout the month. The scroll helps children understand that each middah is part of Judaism’s ancient teachings and has been transmitted through many generations to the present.

Monthly Article: This can be used for the school newsletter or sent directly to families. It describes that month’s middah and how to incorporate it into family life.

Classroom Activity: This helps children explore the meaning of the middah.

Questions in a Jar Activity: These questions stimulate class discussion about the middah of the month.

Self-Awareness Reflection Activity: This activity helps each child personally relate to the middah.

Self-Awareness Reflection Drawing Page: Children create a page for each middah which becomes part of a book or portfolio at the end of the year.

Monthly Letter to Parents: This home/school connection keeps parents informed about what their child is learning in school and helps them to reinforce those values at home.

Resource List: This reinforces the middah of the month by helping parents choose books to foster discussion and practice.

Home School Connection – Family Discussion Activity: This provides materials that encourage families to instill the value in the home by engaging in discussions and activities through which they experience the middah in action together.
