January 26 Update!

January 26, 2010

Dear Ozrim:

There have been several times when I have come into classes and found Ozrim sitting on tables or cabinets or other furniture – no more. Ozrim should be walking around the classroom or sitting amongst the students.
This week Morgan was bright and early and won the Frick Award, eating a Cinnabun. Jeremy was almost decapitated by Rabbi Paley. Rachel and Bari were twins (Vanity Fair honorable mentions, too). Garrett was on nurse duty with a child calling home.
Andrew found any excuse to not be in class, possibly a flashback from when he was my “assistant.” Laura was a Mayflower (Wo)man, moving chairs (not a Pilgrim). Ari was everywhere (he wins Muabelhcie), and was also the puppet master. Hana left her vulture’s perch to get a book from the office. Alexa took attendance and was confounded by a group of second graders – learn your kids’ names, guys.
Vanity Fair this week was shared by Miss Lydia and Alexa. GQ was won by Jake (new skinny tie) and Reese (no Bears tie). Max worked with Lilliputians. Kelly is a silent dancer. Carl had a matching shirt-watch color combo going. Paul was the Johnny Appleseed of juice.
Kyra made sure no one was beaned by the hanging exit sign. Mason increased his class’ attendance – it’s like having Justin Timberlake in class (all the kids want to see him). According to Kyra, Candace (solo) wore cute gold earrings and tan boots. Jake changed the clock batteries (they call him Mr. Timex). Josh was colorful – like a Teletubby. Mose is still wearing his prison purple striped shirt. Someone actually let Kim use scissors in class. Jonathan has a new one on one assignment.
See you Sunday (yes, we teach two Sundays in a row)!

Dear Ozrim:

Don’t forget to put the Purimpalooza on your calendar for February 27. I will need for you to let me know ASAP if you will not be available.
Graduating seniors should check out the Brotherhood’s website and see if you are eligible for applying to receive the Bob Weinfeld Scholarship. Deadline for applications is May 1.
This week we had our switch in assignments (for many of you). Jeremy was pleased to have the best of both worlds in his assignment. Kim was put in sixth grade but she blended in so I missed her. Paul was happy to return to his favorite class. Carl was less excited than expected. Kelly was thrilled with her assignment.
Andrew had the same hairdo as his teacher this week. Garrett and Candace now have Purim PHD’s, as they were treated like the title character in Being John Malkovich. Candace’s best friend laughed when she nearly broke a table. Speaking of her, Val was Rosie, the Bounty Queen. Laura cut up her hand in art (she also had the world’s longest scarf). Kyra went through extensive training her first day as my assistant. Kyra needs practice in her Quasimodo skills.
Jonathan was the strong, very silent type. Zach worked one of one with students, while Max Gre was grading work. Mose led a group himself, while Mason is getting used to older kids. Frick this week is Mason and Reese, Reese winning GQ honorable mention. Morgan wore army boots.
Max Gru won GQ even with his stripes in different directions (he also led a group). Hana won Vanity Fair with her combo Ozrim shirt/skirt. Alexa won both Vanity Fair and Ultra Brite smile award.
Ari was poking kids along in the hall. Lydia wants her kids running in the halls. Josh straggled behind returning from services (he was sad that they ended). Rachel wins Muablehcie for her good coverage.
Happy MLK Day. See you a week from Sunday!
Dennis
