| | The first graders have been preparing to sing some holiday songs this week. I was explaining to them that "O Tannenbaum" means "Oh Christmas Tree" in German. And I made sure the students were pronouncing the words correctly. In the hallway after school I ran into a grandparent (of a very serious child, not one to goof off in class very easily) who said they were very excited to see the performance. And then she said, "I had to tell you, because I thought it was funny, that my grandson thought the words to 'O Tannenbaum' were 'Atomic bomb' and he kept singing it like that at home until I corrected him." Oops... I guess that just shows how much the students pay attention to me. "Oh he did say he thought it was German though," she added. Well okay so they are sort of paying attention... haha. |
