The Big Word for Rain Storm



I was teaching The Water Cycle to my 4th graders.  I asked them what happens after the water condenses in the clouds.  They all responded with, "It RAINS!"  After which I asked  "Well does anyone know the BIG word for rain?"  One of my students looked at me and practically shouted, "RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNstorm!"

There was no way I was holding that laugh in!  This is why I love teaching!

Water is what we got!

 

Andrew and I teach the 4 year olds at church every Sunday!  Those kids can say some pretty funny things.  This one day we had a visitor from another congregation.  He informed us that his teacher always has snacks for them.  One of our boys turned to him and said, "Oh yeah, Well, we have WATER!"  

Who knew that trip to the water fountain every week meant so much to them!
