### sense in the lessons

Rabbis taught that blessing rests on what is hidden from the eye and not counted. In the primary lessons: In school maths: a place where animals or bales are counted; animals going in and out of the barn add and take away. In everyday life and stories: farm visits, «Charlotte's Web» is set in a barn, a red barn. Phrases: «in the barn», «barn owl», «barn dance», «hay barn», «couldn't hit a barn door» (very bad at aiming).
