During an evening on my front porch these students posed in front of my "Tongue Twister of the Week" sign. I have a new tongue twister every week (this one reads "Sam's sock shop stocks short spotted socks") and I love listening as students stop and practice the new twister. Some will get it right away, others will give exclamations of surprise when their tongue doesn't do what they want it too, but all of them are laughing (particularly when they get to hear me try and say it - even I get stuck!)
On this particular evening we also had the marble works out and students crowded around to see which marble would make it first to the bottom. There was much betting and cheering for their favorite colored marbles, and some non-too-subtle cheating as pupils pushed one marble out of the way or helped their own along.
