Last day of Hebrew School today

Sad. . .

Four out of seven of the kids showed up, which was about what we expected. We drew pictures summarizing things that we learned this year, and I was really pleased with what they all remembered. When we called the kids up to get their certificates of completion for the year, which, incidentally, they really get excited about, I whispered to each kid, "You're my favorite student". Afterward, Max asked me, "What you said -- is that true?" I told him, "Yes. I did say it to everyone, but it is true."

For t'filah at the end, each class led a part of the prayers. My class did the Sh'ma and V'ahafta. And did it well, which made me proud.

Also, Ben (a fourth-grader who I taught last year) came up to me after school and told me that I'd successfully gotten him addicted to "Firefly", and he'd watched the first two DVDs.

There's a typo in the United States Constitution

Really.

Article I, Section 10 includes the phrase "except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws". The superfluous apostrophe appears in both the handwritten and early printed texts.

How embarrassing.
