- Ima, what is a teacher?
- Someone who teaches you things, helps you learn things
- Ima, you are my teacher. My teacher is my Ima.
And I am ima's teacher becaus sometimes I teach Ima things

Her Hebrew reading is gradually developing, though it still lags way behind her English reading, which is now at about 2nd grade level. At the library on Tuesday morning she asked to look at the volcano volume from a Hebrew children's encyclopedia and successfully sounded out the Hebrew words magma, har ga'ash (volcano) and bazelet (basalt). Over lunch that day she read the Hebrew matza box (words like matza, Yisrael, kasher, mayim and hita (wheat))
