filthy: VERY dirty. With a kindergarten class, each day is teeming with opportunities to use this word. "Don't touch me, please. Your hands are...?" Or in conjunction with yesterdays word: "Are your tables spotless or filthy?"
Word of the Day and Phrase of the Day is for my ESL class of 18 19 Taiwanese five to seven-year-olds. Most of them happen to be brilliant, so they need/love new things they can learn out of the textbook.
My goal for the WOD and POD is to introduce something that I can use during class at least a few times everyday for an indefinite time period. I'm not all about giving them a big word that most English speakers don't even know just because it's a cool sounding word.
