xiphiasA Lis who makes fudge. Yummy, yummy fudge.
Mmmm. Fudge.
So, teaching Hebrew school yesterday, some of the kids were doing their copying of words into their notebooks (I give them one word, they glue it in, read it, then copy it over five times, then I give them the next one.) I'd prepared several phrases -- actually, chunks of blessings. Shayna finished the two I was planning on for today, and asked for another one. I told her I wasn't sure. . . I had been HOPING on doing the other ones for next week.
"PLEEASE can I do another bracha?"
"Well. . . . I don't know. . . "
"Oh, come on. . . .PLEEEEEEEEAAASE?"
"Hmmm. Tamara, what do you think? Should we let Shayna do another bracha?"
"Well. . . maybe just this once we can let her do another one. . . "
"THANK YOU!!!!"
We spent more time on the writing exercise than we expected to. Because once the kids saw that SHAYNA got to write more Hebrew, they all insisted on doing more, too. And we had to be fair to them -- we couldn't just let ONE kid do extra work and then refuse to let the other kids do so, too.

Date: 2004-10-26 09:50 am (UTC)Hey, you never got back to me on whether or not you want me to buy any of those Hebrew games and bring them with me to Boston (I know I saw one on brachot, too, if you're interested). They range between $10 and $20 (on the cheaper end), and most of them are imported from Israel. If you'd like me to pick some up, please let me know ASAP (Vekson112 & I are leaving on Thursday right after I return from work--around 4pm, so I would need to know today or tomorrow before 4pm if you want me to get them, since tomorrow night is the last time I could go to the Jewish book store).
Hope to see you soon! :-)
