imagination/ do me a favor

imagination: When you use your brain to think of cool things. We did a few creative activities today where I was able to tell the students "Use your imagination." It probably won't be a high frequency word, but at least now I can say it and be comfortable with the fact that they have a general understanding of the concept. (speaking of understanding concepts- I threw the question to my kids "How you do know you aren't dreaming right now? Don't dreams feel this real?" They're pretty content believing that this isn't a dream. Me too.)

do me a favor: Another way to ask someone to help you. I saw this being a bigger success than it was, but I never remembered to go out of my way to use it. I ask the kids to help me all the time, I just need to start asking them to "do me a favor."
