we had a showing of Finding Nemo a few weeks ago, and my class is now OBSESSED with those dang turtles! i admit, it's good entertainment for them on those rainy afternoons when we can't go outside to play. but we ALWAYS keep going back to that scene with the sea turtles! they even have most of the dialogue memorized! this is, of course, with the requisite lisps and mispronunciations - wimming with the tutles! and their favorite expression now is, "oh my goodness!" everything is "oh my goodness!" this, and "oh my goodness!" that. even if they're just going to the toilet ("oh my goodness ms. kathy! can i go pee-pee?") excited, aren't we!
not to mention all the awesome-ing that goes on. they finish their food, "i's awesome, man!" they see a butterfly outside, "i's awesome, dude!" they even tried the head-butting thing, but the accompanying pain was not "awesome", so that was that.
i am now searching for nursery rhymes, popular or otherwise, that have turtles in them. capitalizing on their interest, you might say :D. big plus if they're named Crush and Squirt. HELP!
a chorus of "mine! mine!" (sea gulls) can now be heard in the pre-nursery classroom at regular
intervals...
