Happy End of Shemot

That's what the cake said at our siyyum this morning.

Fifth graders are a far cry from the 7ths I taught last year. I used to say, "only kosher at our parties" and they used to bring all sorts of non-hechshered junk food.

Here, I didn't say anything, and a student brought a kosher carrot cake from Whole Foods, with cream cheese frosting that said "Happy End of Shemot." We took a picture with it, and then they brought plates to all the administrators and were wished a "Happy Almost VaEra" in return.

Oh, the joys of students who love to learn for learning's sake.

(And I haven't even mentioned yet the Beshalach-themed music video with my 6th, below...)
