Bright-eyed and bushy tailed!

We had an excellent day! As I told you, you were bright-eyed and bushy tailed! Now when I asked if you understood what that meant, no one did. I was happy to explain. Do you love learning new words like I do? In case you need review on my definition just click on the hyperlink above. I am impressed with how much commenting you accomplished today. Everyone used their "help sheets" and I loved hearing what you had to say. I also know that others will enjoy reading your comments.

First, as a group we would like to thank Bronwyn G. for making so many comments back to us when we were commenting on the JHH blog. She makes the most interesting comments! She makes us stretch our minds!

Today we did a quick review of what you learned last week. Then we went over each post that has been made on the blog so far. We enjoyed reading each and every comment. Then we clicked on the links that went to our spot on the web where our comment was. We also made comments on posts of our choice. We like choices!

I was amazed at how quickly you caught on and how efficiently you worked. This is only our second session. Oh, can you imagine what lies ahead? I get the most delightful pictures in my mind.

I hope you have some time to comment in class this week. I know it is going to be a very busy week for you.  So get lots of rest, plenty of exercise and have lots of fun!

I love words! I especially like learning new words and learning about where words come from.

For instance, maybe you've heard of the Sahara Desert in Africa. That's what we call it in English. But in Arabic (the language they speak in Egypt) "sahara" means "desert." So really we are calling it the Desert Desert.

A lot of words in English come from other languages. What about this word, "kindergarten?" Where do you guess it comes from? What does it really mean?

I am another who loves words.

Kindergarten comes from the German.

It means children's garden, and a kindergarten is where the children learn through play.

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed comes from a squirrel and means bright and enthusiastic.

Are you going to have a test or something along these lines?

Sometimes I like learning new words if they are interesting. Usually I wonder what they mean and cannot wait to find out.
Your Friend,
Julia
