Suggestions on How to Use

There are several ways to use this product. A copy can be made for each student or done as a whole class while projected or displayed on an interactive whiteboard.In my classroom, I did both.Each student had a copy to work on independently, and then we would correct it together on the interactive whiteboard.I used it once a week as part of my Morning Work Packet.

Throughout my teaching years, I loved assigning my students Morning Work as they came into class, but I could never find material that supported Jewish themes.So, I created it!
