On Top of Things
So today I had a student, who has struggled a little, finish his work and asked if he could get a book to read until we moved on. I told him he was on top of things (meaning he was doing well and getting things done on time) he started picking up his feet to see what he was "on top of". It was very funny and also a reminder that I teach alot of second language learners who have a hard time with slang and catch phrases!

Wow! On top of things has topped your blog chart 3 times! I think this is a first in the Top 40 of blogs!
Maybe I should create a Top 40 Blog blog. Then again maybe I shouldn't.
I remember trying to explain to a Spanish exchange student that an elephant ear pastry wasn't actually an elephant's ear. Even when he saw it he wouldn't eat it.
Eh, more for me. ;-)
