Innocence Lost

The teacher in me tries to make every event a learning experience, so when the third grader showed me his report card, and one of the comment categories was "strives to do his best," I asked if he knew the meaning of strive. He and his brother figured out the meaning from context, so I used another commenton the report that "he is coming out of his shell" to illustrate idioms, which we'd previously talked about. They worked that one out, and the brother says he knew another idiom kind of like that,"coming out of the closet."

We watched Glee the other night....hence, the closet reference.
