Today during morning meeting I passed out number cards for the greeting. I might say words that rhyme with that number, or equations that equal that number and then the two people who have matching numbers pop up and greet each other in the center of the circle.
I was at the end of passing out the cards, and handed Jack the only one left- the zero.
He looked at the card. “Dammit,” he said instantly.
I turned and said, “What did you say?”
Alenka, who was sitting beside him, said quickly, “He say DAMMIT!”
Great, I thought. The child from Poland now knows the words hyman AND dammit.
I can stop teaching right now, cause my work is done.

p.s. why doesn't the word verification work with wordpress?
Ha! When I taught 2nd grade ESL, those kids were way smarter than I was... when it came to street smarts. They taught me what "rims" were and what a "grill" was. I'm not talking the kind you cook on. I also had them teaching me Spanish. They would be in 8th grade now!!! Wow...
I love the circle time idea... if I was teaching again, I would for sure use it!
Wow. Yup, I would say that their vocabulary is complete now! (HOW do you keep a straight face during these times!?)
will those both be on the spelling test this week?>
Thanks Brian, a second smile of the day. Of course, for good education's sake, the correct spelling will be used, (smiling).
To those who celebrate - Happy V.D.
faithful follower
Maybe the number he got ryhmes with "Dammit"
Did a great job teaching them LOL
You always have to learn the bad/curse words first.
The version that I have received is the transparent Glacier for iPhone 6 Plus; there is also a gray version. It has openings for the mute switch and volume and power buttons
