Core Elements of Rimmonim Shabbat Sessions

The Shabbat sessions will have the following parts:
 * 1) Opening circle: families all together, including singing and a “check-in” related to last sessions’ middot
 * 2) Family learning facilitated by Cathy or a parent­ introduction to the //middah//
 * 3) Tefillah (with singing and movement)/Torah story led by Sonya
 * 4) Simultaneous adult learning facilitated by a parent and children’s learning facilitated by Sonya.
 * 5) A closing circle when we process/share relating to the //middah// and sing a closing song

Each Shabbat children’s learning session will include the following key components:
 * 1) new Jewish vocabulary
 * 2) a key phrase in Hebrew
 * 3) a story
 * 4) a visual
 * 5) a physical activity
 * 6) a role play/drama
 * 7) information about how the world works
 * 8) a take home idea or activity to work on

We will try to model in the sessions in a conscious way the //middot// we are learning about. The children be asked for their ideas as well, but things we may include are:
 * 1) Families take turns greeting the other families as they arrive
 * 2) Any snacks should be healthy
 * 3) We will speak nicely and listen attentively
 * 4) We will treat each other with respect and kindness
 * 5) We will wash our hands before we eat.
