Miss Israel

It was again "Celebrating Cultures" week at Emerson's school. This year, Emerson's class (the toddler room) learned about Israel. The parade was on the last day of the week and the little girls wore white shirts and black skirts with white and black head kerchiefs and the little boys wore white shirts with black pants and yarmulkes. They all looked so cute. Emerson did great. She walked both laps, smiling and waving all the way. A big change from last year when she was in the infant room. The parade was again like a little Olympic Opening Ceremonies or a Mini-UN meeting, with each classroom representing a different country. Some that I remember were Greece, Russia, Korea, China, India and Madagascar. It was definitely worth standing in the sun to see the whole thing and to especially see how sweet Emerson looked, straight off the kibbutz.
