Non-Sequitur: FREE Frog & Toad Button-Sorting Math!

We re-read the wonderful Frog & Toad story A Lost Button this afternoon (from Frog and Toad Are Friends). I love this story! I really like the whole book, actually… I picked up all three paperbacks as a boxed set for no particular reason and I’m very glad I did. (We also have this particular volume in Hebrew!)

Anyway, I thought this would be a perfect theme for a quick math lesson to wrap up our week tomorrow, with the help of this free download page. We used it once last year, but it was a while ago, and I think I only did it with GZ while Naomi Rivka worked on something else.

I created two activities of my own to go along with the page. You’ll need to download the first page, print it out, then cut out the buttons and sort them for the first activity sheet. Then, on the second sheet, you can reuse the buttons by gluing them on to Toad’s jacket.

For both these sheets, as usual, I have mercilessly and shamelessly borrowed images that I don’t own. I figure it’ll make people love Frog & Toad so much they go out and buy the books, so ultimately, I have done the world – and the publishers – a favour.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad. She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel. She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.” I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community. Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos. Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach . Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
