Teacher Stuff
I fill little hands with color and glue,
I help tiny artists make something new.
When the art show comes, I’m ready to glow—
Who am I, the teacher who helps creativity grow?
Allison
Two minds alike, side by side,
With soccer cleats and schoolyard pride.
If there’s a fidget trade, they’re somehow there first,
Turning recess into a business burst.
Who are these twins always ready to score—
On the field and with one more sale at the door?
Raphael and Gabriel
Once a year the blacktop turns bright,
Filled with colors, cheers, and nonstop excitement.
Yellow, green, and blue rush by,
While students run beneath the sky.
There are games, activities, music, and fun,
But the biggest goal is helping everyone.
Feet keep moving from start to end—
What school event brings charity and friends together?
Jogathon
A place of learning, tradition, and song,
Where many young Bears have grown all along.
Its name carries faith, history, and pride,
With a famous city hidden inside.
Not a movie set, though Hollywood’s there,
And not just a temple, but a community to share.
What is the full name of this special place?
Temple Israel of Hollywood
Four times each week a different rhythm begins,
With ancient symbols, songs, and sounds woven in.
The letters may look backwards to some at first glance,
Yet soon they become part of each student’s cadence.
It’s not Spanish, French, or Latin class time,
But a language connected through history and rhyme.
What subject fills the classrooms most weeks?
Hebrew
In an office where sweet treats are near,
A helpful leader brings calm and cheer.
With a South African lilt and Duffy’s fame,
Who is this vice principal by name?
Glenda
He’s quick with patterns, angles, and checks,
Always three moves ahead of the rest.
Sometimes he battles inside the pit,
Other times a chessboard becomes his wit.
A treasure might hint at the sound of his name—
Who is this student winning every game?
Zander Gold
Far from home they crossed the sky,
Trading classrooms for history nearby.
They walked where crowds and legends meet,
A market buzzing with winding streets.
A famous field held stories untold,
While pastry shells carried filling like gold.
Red bricks, loud cheers, and harbor air—
What city was the destination there?
Boston
Every day we gather here,
For snacks, lunch, and friends so near.
Sometimes songs and blessings start,
Bringing school and spirit together at heart.
One warm day there was running, cheering, lots to tell,
And afterward cold popsicles as a reward felt swell.
It’s more than classrooms in every way—
What special place do students visit each day?
The Courtyard
For months they explored a place far away,
Through traditions, geography, food, and play.
Then one winter day the whole campus transformed,
With countries, colors, and cultures performed.
December brought music, displays, and delight,
As students shared learning from morning to night.
What special celebration brought the world into school?
Global Fest
You’ll hear this teacher before you arrive,
Keeping fifth grade busy, learning, alive.
With themed fun slides for each national day,
Whose booming voice carries down the hallway?
Michael Becker
You’ll probably hear her before she’s in sight,
Making goofy faces with pure delight.
Full of energy, laughter, and cheer,
And there’s one teacher she always stays near.
Their number-one fan from the start—
Who’s this student with the loudest heart?
Dylan Arlook
I’m loud without music,
Competitive without grades.
A circle surrounds me,
But no one parades.
You dodge, you jump,
You scramble and sprint,
One wrong bounce away
From “you’re out!” in an instant.
What am I?
Gaga Pit
Not covered in fur, feathers, or hair,
Yet somehow became the center of care.
Quiet by day beneath warm light’s glow,
With secrets about itself we still don’t know.
Some guessed one thing, others another,
Though no one could prove either one or the other.
A new arrival with a tail and tiny toes—
Who is the classroom creature everyone chose?
Pebbles
For eight nights it quietly grows,
Beginning small before brighter glows.
Songs are sung and spinning games begin,
While fried foods somehow always seem to win.
A story of courage shines through every flame,
Though one tiny light started it all the same.
What holiday brings warmth to the darkest time of year?
Hanukkah
Curtains rise when she’s nearby,
Scenes and songs go soaring high.
She led a journey steeped in history and art,
And recently someone captured her heart.
Who is she?
Lindsey
Yet offstage he’s known for another trademark brand.
A hat’s usually there no matter the weather,
And one costume choice tied magic together.
Wands, wizardry, and Neverland lore—
Who’s this student everyone knows from before?
Teddy Karp (Captain Hook)
Deep in the mountains, far from their beds,
They tested their courage and challenged their heads.
Some climbed skyward on one narrow stand,
Trusting their balance more than the land.
Others baked treats with no oven flame,
Using only sunlight to finish the game.
Science and adventure mixed into one stamp—
What unforgettable trip was this camp?
Astrocamp
I traveled across the country without buying a plane ticket,
Sat on sweatshirts zipped against the cold,
And followed students through markets, ballparks, and old red streets.
You can find me in hallways all year long,
Even though I belong in the wild.
Who am I?
Briskin Bear
Once each week the usual routine slows down,
Voices gather instead of spreading around.
Not for a test, a game, or a show,
But for words and melodies many already know.
It happens before the weekend is near,
On a morning that returns every year.
Students, teachers, songs, and prayer all blend—
What weekly gathering helps the school day begin?
T'filah
Lessons by day, playlists by night,
She thrives where rhythm and energy unite.
One weekend the desert became her scene,
Among flashing lights and fields of green.
She keeps things in tune—
Who is the teacher humming the next song too soon?
Michelle
She once flew high without needing wings,
Leading the stage through adventures and things.
Now graduation is drawing near,
Though at home she’s still a big sister dear.
From Neverland back to the real world’s span—
Who’s the student who starred as Peter Pan
Paloma Baylin
One final gathering before summer begins,
Where endings and new beginnings quietly spin.
No caps or gowns, yet something still changes,
As familiar places suddenly rearrange.
Names are called, excitement grows louder,
And soon the hallway feels a little prouder.
After this moment, they won’t stay the same—
What yearly tradition marks their next grade’s name?
Stepping Up
Each morning begins with quiet routines,
Tiny guardians tending a kingdom with wings.
No grocery trip starts this reward,
Yet something appears without ever being poured.
The caretakers are among the youngest around,
Still mastering letters and newly found sounds.
But through daily work and watchful care,
They help create what many families share.
What living project keeps giving long after the lesson ends?
The chickens
As the week begins to close,
The campus shifts and somehow slows.
Songs grow louder, challah appears,
And familiar blessings reach many ears.
But before the weekend can officially start,
Small groups gather, each doing their part.
Different rooms, same spirit shared—
What weekly tradition shows how the community cares?
Shabbat
