Happy Birthday Israel. Need ideas, information, songs, word activities and classroom activities to do with Independence Day? Have a look at my materials in "Cycle of the Jewish Year." http://web.macam.ac.il/~bev Materials are suited to both elementary and junior high. High school teachers take a look as well - the ideas can definitely be used - you may want to upgrade the text material. The site can also be accessed through the ETNI site (More Etni - elementary school - holidays - The Cycle of the Jewish Year) Feedback appreciated.
