One day Terrance said, "I would like for opera to be the Word of the Day. I heard that word and I always wanted to know what it means." So we looked up the word and for music and movement I played Andrea Bocelli's CD for them. Terrance thought it was funny that the song was all in Italian. Of course that also meant that I had to hear children speaking and singing to each other half the morning in dramatic opera style.
The other two WODs were schoolwide from the morning announcements.
Opera: (Noun) A drama with music and all singing instead of spoken dialogue. Christy's sentence: "She went to the opera and listened to the songs."
Retain: (Verb) To keep in mind or remember. This was probably Christy's sentence before I was writing the sentence authors' names. "If you retain your math facts then you will do well in math."
Helmet: (Noun) A covering that protects the head. Terrance's sentence: "If you ride a bike you should wear a helmet."
