So I am kind-of crazy. There are a lot of hand motions and excitement when I have something to say, and I teach that way, too. I'll make up little songs and do little dances, but most of all, I have some phrases.
Now, you might think my kids would get annoyed, but, and this has happened with every class I have, love it. They even start saying these phrases in their own conversations, in writing, and to their parents. My class this year asks me to say some of the phrases, and they told me they were going to make me a word book of the things I say. I asked what would be in it, here is the list:
Yikes
Oh NO!
Fabulous
Uh-oh
Absolutely Not
Fantastic
Wonderful
Keep your internal dialogue inside your head
When you are ready, I will invite you to __________
That is not okay
Feel (whatever the inappropriate word/action is) in your heart, but keep it in there

Hmmm...that''s...interesting (I say this to adults, too. It's best used after a story that is the opposite of interesting. So if I say something is interesting, you can bet I have some other adjectives for it)
Yes. I am kind-of crazy.

I find myself saying "that's funny" in response to something someone's saying but I've stopped listening to them. It's embarrassing when they're not actually talking about something that's funny.
i know -- i love "interesting." though i probably shouldn't have written that publicly, since i find myself saying it a lot.
This cracked me up. I can actually *hear* you say these things in my head.
It totally made me miss you!

I know, now I hafta make sure I tell better stories....
