Faced with a Kindergarten choir of raised shamashes, Sanford was a little horrified.
"No, no! Let's use Polly Pointer-- POLLY POINTER!"
"But Mr. Jones....! The shamash is the BIGGEST candle!"
Happy Chanukah, everyone.

Shamash you
Friday afternoon, Sanford had music class with his Kindergarteners. Seeing as how we are in Israel, December marks the time for Chanukah songs in Kindergarten music class. Using their little hands as wee menorahs, they sang: "One little candle burn, burn, burn. Chanukah is here!" This was the cue for the lighting of the first candle-- the shamash-- signified by the raising of a finger.

I observed a first grade class today and it wasn't nearly as fun as this sounds...in fact, my teacher was so stern and intimidating that I don't see how the kids didn't run out of the room crying. It was a bilingual school, however, which was interesting to see - needless to say, I could only stay for the English literacy portion as my Spanish skills are woefully lacking (read - non-existent. Someone should have told me German was useless outside of Germany! :-) Anyway, miss you tons - will write more later!!
