Idioms

Today,I taught the class words called idioms, here are some examples:
A Picture Paints a Thousand Words
Finger lickin' good
For a spilt second
Raining Cats and Dogs
Kick the bucket
Beat around the bush
Give someone a hand
Butterflies in the stomach

The children are told idioms are figures of speech and that the meaning cannot be deduced by the words of the idioms. An idiom is a combination of words that has a meaning that is different from the meanings of the individual words themselves. The class are told that idioms, when used appropriately, can make the stories or written expressions interesting for the readers.

Nicole Low knew about it, as I have told them about it the day before. She told her parents about it and they bought her a dictionary called 'Dictionary of Idioms'.

Serena did a typeout of idioms. I shared it with the class that day.
