January 26 Update!

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)!
