Commemoration. We taught them Peretz’s Song of Mourning amongst others,
and they learned to recite texts by Peretz. In the meantime, the children
learned a whole array of songs. After that we had a small Shavuot programme.
Now there will be a more elaborate programme consisting of recitations, choral
recitals, songs and dances. The event will take place at the end of Week of
Cleanliness.

chose one child from the younger group and one child from the older group as treasurers. They themselves keep the account books. Each child puts whatever money he can into the cash-box. There are some children who are unable to contribute. For this entire period, we have deposited 8 zlotys 38 groszy and we have paid out 9 zlotys 10 groszy. This means that we have borrowed 72 groszy from the teacher. In addition, we have to cover the debt of the paper
