Congrats to Richard Zane Smith on the Community Spirit Award

[Richard Zane Smith]

kweh Mona,
tizhamëh! (thanks!) yes! i am planning to come! it should be fun!

after teaching pre-schoolers this morning  practicing their "arm song"
I'm introducing them to "incorporating *verbs*" for the parts of the arm.
I-my-arm-*grab!*
I-my-arm-*shake!*
*they love it! and don't even realize they are *
*getting a technical lesson in basic-wendat/iroquoian linguistics*
*which of course should be the whole point in early education,anyway...*

too fun listening to them laugh and shaking or grabbing their little arms!
