Random LoLs.
I asked them to review compound words, telling that that some words are made up of two words put together.
Pop + corn = popcorn.
I asked them to separate a list of words that they didn't know the meaning to, and they were able to do so successfully because they recognized the smaller words. Except one word: briefcase.
When they came to that word, they separated it as:
Brie + fcase
They didn't know the word brief, or case, but they knew the name of the cheese brie, so they separated it accordingly.
Aww, they're all little gourmets!!
Unfortunately, they were unable to separate cheesecloth, failing to recognize either, claiming one was a prefix ><
And a random lol for good measure:
They had to learn songs to dance to for the Open House, except, one of the songs for one of the classes sung Peter Pan, and one of the verses was grammatically wrong.
Where's Wendy? Where's Wendy?
She's all gooone!
----------
Which, I'm not sure if everyone knows the rule, but it sounds like Wendy was eaten doesn't it? Compared to "She's gone" as in she's disappeared/left... All before it implies that there were more than one of her... maybe in pieces... Like where's the hamburger? It's all gone. Where are the vegetables? They're all gone. All is used when there's many of something, not one. I explained this to my kinder kids and they had a good laugh, thankfully.
Peter Pan, the adult version... where Wendy gets dismembered and taken away.... D: sung by kids! hahaha (No, that's not what they were trying to do... the song was just wrong XD)
