Some okay, with boring on the side

Every Shabbat on the moshav, there are afternoon classes - shiurim - for the children. It's voluntary, but with a 1:00 p.m. starting time, most of the parents "send" their kids to it.

The place of the shiur varies from week to week - it's on a rotating basis and this past week, Chave graciously volunteered me to give the pre-school-aged shiur.

It was the second time I was inked in to do it, and after setting the world's record for the fastest shiur in the history of the moshav on my first attempt, I reluctantly agreed to do it again - not that I really had a choice.

I think Hadas likes when I do it. She was glowing from the moment she found out about it and was super hyper during the shiur, too.

And I have to say that I think I am good with kids in general, but I definitely feel that I have a "lost in translation" thing going on when I speak Hebrew. Nonetheless, this week I thought I put together an interesting lesson/story for the kids... and the marshmallows at the end were a big hit.

However, Chave told me later in the day that a friend of ours asked Hadas in the park how the shiur was and she answered, "It was a okay, but a little boring."

Hmmm... maybe that's why Hadas told us that the next time the shiur is in our house, she wants Chave to give it!
