Important Shipping Update: Warehouse Transition
Unfortunately, the warehouse we've partnered with for years has decided to close its doors. This means we're in the middle of an exciting, but challenging, transition!
Right now, all of our inventory is in transit to our new warehouse facility. This large-scale move affects items across the board. Some posters, guides, and other materials will continue to ship during this transition.
We understand the delay is frustrating, and we sincerely appreciate your patience. We are working hard to set up our new operations and expect to be shipping materials again around November 17th.
Thank you for bearing with us during this difficult transition. We'll post another update if this date changes.

Grades: 4-6 Though its usage may well be broader, this material was specifically designed to be used in fourth to sixth grade as a personality centered introduction to Jewish history. We know that many schools struggle with a problem of (a) knowing that research suggests that sequential history cannot really be studied until seventh or eighth grade, but (b) also knowing that if history is not taught in the fourth to sixth-grade slot, many students will never have an opportunity to study it.
Therefore, what we have created is a series of “biographies” that tell individual stories in the context of background, that can be mastered during this period. Each of these units is designed to:
- Tell the story of a significant, influential, Jew
- Set that story in a specific historical period
- Expose students to the use of primary source material/texts
- Use the conflicts in our subject’s life for a source of values
- Provide tools for a review of key concepts
The individual biographies can be considered “quilting squares” and can be assembled in any fashion that the teacher or curriculum designer desires. They can be clustered within a historical period, gathered by theme, or sequenced o demonstrate a historical flow.
This is the guide to all the Jewish People units.
