american pop culture

no, i'm not teaching them about the american culture.

i know nothing about it.

so i didn't tell my kids about halloween, not going to tell them about thanksgiving, either.

we don't do those things.

halloween, maybe on the commercial side and a good excuse to get chocolates for ourselves.

though we always tend to just eat out that night to avoid annoying little brats knocking on our door asking for sweets.

anyways, as i was going through the list of animals with my ce2's today.

we came across 'ladybug'.

- comment on dit 'coccinelle' en anglais?

- silence.

- okay, it's a ladybug.

- lehdii bar.

- no, lay-di-bu-g.

- oh, je sais, comme lady gaga! a girl was so excited when the word 'lady gaga' came up.

- presque, there's 'lady', but this is a bug, not gaga, okay, repeat after me. BUG.

i remember one time i was playing with the kids during break time.

someone asked me if i know who katy perry is and if we could do her songs in class.

then with my hateful cm2, they REQUESTED to do lady gaga and eminem songs in class.

i dunno if we're really going to do any songs not scripted in the textbook.

or maybe we shall do lily allen instead?
