One day this week, I said to a student, "It's chilly out today." He looked confused, so I asked if he knew the word "chilly". He said yes, it's something you eat. I love these teaching opportunities. I wrote CHILI and CHILLY on the board. I said Chili is good to eat on a Chilly day. It gave us the chance to talk about words that describe temperature and chili ingredients (as well as what the word ingredient means).

That was really a good chance to study English.
I don't want to have dessert in a desert.
This is a real teaching opportunity, and the best way for learning, too. I am sure the student will remember that lesson and always think of chili when it is cold outside, and chilly when he eats spicy food!
Your blue fabric is fabulous!
Your little teaching anecdotes are so fun and your temperatures so cold! Also, I'm craving some chili now...
