praying mantis: a bug that looks like the spawn of a leaf and a grasshopper. It looks like it is always praying. TPR goes great with praying mantis (and meerkat) since the kids love to pretend to be animals.
bad apple: The worst one of a bunch. Nobody wants to eat a bad apple, so when they kids are being bad I ask "Who is being the bad apple?" and they all usually point to the same kid. It's a great way to isolate bad behavior because the kids hate to be singled out and embarrassed. I'm thinking it's a good idea to make a "bad apple" spot on my white board and whichever kid's name is written up there gets some kind of punishment.
