Monday Morning Star Count - Week 30

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).

  2. That was really a good chance to study English.
    I don't want to have dessert in a desert.

  3. 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!
