Two Heads are better than one!

Hi Everyone,
One of our favorite things to do at school now is to come to computer lab to...well, to visit with you! That's what it feels like. We are getting to know you better and hope you are getting to know us too! We will be posting pictures of our school and ourselves so you can see us and where we live.

Want to play a word swap game? We have noticed that while we speak the same language, we use different words to describe the same thing - like you have good mates while we have good buddies. This made us think it might be fun to swap idioms. Here are ten from us, see if you can guess what they mean:

The cat got your tongue Face the music
Be a wet blanket Lose your shirt
Spill the beans Feeling blue
Horse around Let sleeping dogs lie
Knock your socks off Smell a rat

Well, break a leg!
