Kids <3 Metal Shirts
You know all those awesome metal t-shirts from bands like Hammerfall and Rhapsody I wore during my college years?
My elementary school kids LOVE them, the most popular being Rhapsody's 'Symphony of Enchanted Lands' t-shirt with a knight ridin a firebreathing dragon. They also love the Hammerfall T-shirt for the single 'I Want Out' with the knight bashing his way out of a prison cell and a rainbow outside.
One awesome kid asked me how to say dragon in English. Then he asked for warrior, or knight, while pointing at the Warrior of Ice. Then he asked me to make him a replica Emerald Sword and bring it to school. Then he started striking crazy poses while making slashing motions.
This very same 4th grader, who is super awesome, was spotted holding a girl's hand sitting together on the stairwell before English class. I was like go little dude!!!
This is the same kid that taught me how to shoot a DBZ-style fireball by shouting KAMEHAMEHA.

Last week I was doing lessons on questions ie:
'Is it big?'
- 'Yes it's big.'
- 'No, it's small.'
'Is it fast?'
- 'Yes, it's fast.'
- 'No it's slow.'
Like that. Things got a little tricky for adding animals and fruits
'Is it an animal?'
- 'Yes it's an animal.'
- 'No, it's a fruit.'
That extra 'a' or 'an' in there can confuse the kids, or make them sound awesome.
They accidentally started saying 'a' infront of all the adjectives. Ie:
'Is it cute?'
- 'Yes, it's a-cute.'
'Is it heavy?'
- 'Yes, it's a-heavy.'
They sooooo totally sounded like Mario saying 'It's-a me, Mario!'
It was so super cute I didn't want to correct then.
