Middah of the Week - Derech Eretz (respect for those who are older or wiser than us)

At this weeks Morning Meeting we discussed a new middah of Derech Eretz - Showing respect for those who are older than us.





We talked about respecting our parents, grandparents, teachers and any older person.





We can respect them by standing up for them, or giving up our seat; Offering a drink before we take ourselves and talking with respectful words and tone of voice.





Please use the Middos Message notes to comment if your child practiced this Middah at any time during the week.





It is so meaningful to your child and to the rest of the class when you send in a Middos note! It reinforces the Middah of the week and celebrates your child's success! Thank you!
