patient/ hear a pin drop

patient: A person (not the kind the doctor sees) who can wait is very patient. Pushing and yelling "hurry up" is not patient. It is good to be patient. Another word that was not an immediate success, but I will use maybe once or twice a day, now that I can.

hear a pin drop: VERY quiet. Obviously a demonstration was in order, and now, much to mine and my co-teacher's amusement, I raise a pin in the air and am met with complete silence. In addition to it earning a spot in my discipline tool belt, the children are very entertained by the phrase.


**An idea for next week: introduce a new animal everyday for the WOD, unless I can keep coming up with practical words.
