Wow its been a while. Its so annoying, i always mean to post but just things come in the way, whether its מורשת or just stuff, but then you have the days that i am bored out of my mind and the computers are unaccessable.... nice word...

you know it is vey hard to teach english. like not teach but tutor. For example...

Mike and Ron (play, plays) computer games.

Now for a kid in 6th grade who is learning this new language, for the past 2 yrs they have been telling him that plural is with an "s" at the end. now פיתום things change. so he answers that it shoulb plays because it is two people. and i tell him no, its play. why he askes.... אההההה donno. so what do i do, call my pop and he explains to me that for nouns an "s" at the end is plural but for a verb an "s" at the end is singular.
"s" בקיצור אני אומרת לו שלשם עצם ברבים ולפועל ביחיד יש בסוף
go figure!!!!

and only after a few תרגילים was i able to explain to them when you use is, are, and am. meaning... ex.

1. I_____ living in Israel (am, is, are)
2. We ____ going shopping. (am, is, are)
3. He ____ having fun. (am, is, are)

So I know the answers but only after a little was i able to explain that 'am' is when talking about 'I', and 'is' is when talking about singular someone else, and 'are' is plural someone else. I think it is a good explination. meaning

I am living in Israel.
We are going shopping.
He is having fun.

maybe I should become an english teacher. yah right. I like hate english... Its so hard!!!

So we got here on tuesday night, and set up out rooms. Wednesday we have some speechs and at about 300 we left to yerushalayim- it took us close to 2 hours to get there but finally we did. We had a tour in a neighborhood called nachlaot then went to eat in a taimani resturant, and then had a tour of the rova then went to the kotel. we got back to pardes chana at 2 am! but it was fun. the next day we got up and started to prepare things for the kids who were supposed to arrive at about 2ish. now, i dont exactly have a group. my job is... 9 o clock wake up and go to the 'merkaziyah chinuchit' its a room with tons of activity ideas, supplies, and air conditioning. I'm supposed to help out the other 'bnot sheirut' then at 130 there is lunch and then i have a break till 6, and 6 I go to a group of tchon girls. they are called the 'olot' even though they made aliyah 6 yrs ago, 2 before me. they are all ethiopian except one girl who is israel born from ethiopian parents. these girls love to learn, supposivly the biggest problem theat we will have with them is to convince them to stop learning and do something fun for a change.

the week was pretty much the same thing over and over. wtvr, its fun. this past shabbos i was here. most of the kids go home for shabbos every other shabbos, however some kids dont have a home to go home to, so they stay here. thats my job, to be with them on this shabbos. its weird cuz its supposed to be like there home. like we are not strict with them, and they could sleep late and hang out. but its not really there home because its not!

friday night i tucked in a little girl- she is 5 years old and has been here for i think half a year. she will be here for the rest of her life. i just started tearing. its so sad, this is her home. not house, home. cuz she doesnt have somewhere else to go. and because of the stupid rules in this country, she will probably not go to adoption meaning she will never know from a normal family.

really short....
