My 6th grade class has the word "exaggerate" for one of their spelling words. On Monday when I was explaining/defining the new spelling list, I gave this example for the word exaggerate...
"To exaggerate is to say, 'My husband is so hot, when I look at him my eyelids burn!'
True, he is hot, but my eyelids burning is a bit over-the-top!"
My "hot" hubby feels so bad for my students some days - he's sure they probably feel ill on a regular basis due to my "endearing" stories about my love for him!
ha ha Oh Wanda....how I would LOVE to be one of your sixth graders. Thanks for the JOY and FUN you bring to Life/LCS.
