Ideas of how to use this activity in your classroom:

One of the pages takes a look at the calendar and emphasizes the 10 days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
- Use this page to take the opportunity to look at the Jewish calendar for this time of the year, and identify all the holidays that take place.
- Incorporate into a math lesson. Print the page or another calendar page and have students work on counting to ten with 1:1 correspondence and place stickers on each of the 10 days between the holidays.
Read the story together in class and have discussions exploring the different themes.
- Self-reflection – explore good deeds we have done and things we may need to change or ask forgiveness for, what it means to hurt or offend someone, forgiving another person.
- Have students pull scenarios out of a hat to act out between students, to explore different feelings and ways to resolve situations.
- Use animations or clips from children’s shows for students to analyze and discuss the themes of disrespect, hurting someone’s feelings, doing something questionable…and how it gets resolved.
