With potions and equations, she has no fears,
No wonder she's hailed as the teacher of the year!

At the shabbas table, the chemistry lessons remain.
There's some things about chavee that everyone knows,
Like her claps and chants and how she loves Trader Joe's.

Her passion for teaching runs deep and true.
