I can already see the kids in the neighbourhood collecting wood for the bonfire. The days of counting the omer are almost at 33 - Lag B"Omer. It will be interesting to see if our students show up on the Sunday. Or will they take a 2 day holiday? What will you do in your English classroom? Need ideas, information, songs, word activities and classroom activities? Have a look at my materials in "Cycle of the Jewish Year."
