What a summer it has been! The crisis
certainly hasn’t kept the sun from shining…
Back to School Quotes

life itself.”
John Dewey

educate themselves throughout their lives.”

Idioms
As the changing of the season approaches, our
attention turns to the trees and gardens around us. Let’s hear it for the trees!
idiom (n): an expression, word, or
phrase that has a figurative meaning that is separate from the literal meaning
or definition of the words of which it is made.
Mighty oaks from little acorns
grow
To say that big or great things start very small.
“It’s a small business now, but mighty oaks from
little acorns grow!”
Lead someone up the garden path
If someone leads you up the garden path, they deceive you,
or give you false information that causes you to waste your time.
“I feel like you’re leading me up the garden path
instead of just telling me the truth!”
Beat around the bush
If someone doesn't say clearly what they mean, making it
hard to understand, they are beating about (around) the bush.
“Stop beating around the bush and answer the question”
Barking up the wrong tree
If you are barking up the wrong tree, it means that
you have completely misunderstood something or are totally wrong.
“Am I close to the right answer, or completely barking
up the wrong tree?”
Can't see the wood for the trees
If someone can't see the forest for the trees, they
are too focused on specific details to see the picture as a whole.
“I need a fresh perspective on this problem. I can’t see
the wood for the trees here!”
As easy as falling off a log
Something very easy or simple to do is as easy as falling
off a log.
“Learning English is as easy as falling off a log!”
To (not) be out of the woods
If you are out of the woods, you have emerged safely from
a dangerous situation, though the idiom is oftenused in the negative.
“The doctor says she’s getting better, but that she’s not
out of the woods yet.”
Get the wrong end of the stick
If you have the wrong end of the stick you have misunderstood
something.
“I thought she had said that she was married, but itturned
out that I’d got the wrong end of the stick”
Song:
Carly Rae Jespen - Call me,
Maybe?
As you listen, complete the lyrics
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way
Chorus
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
But still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
But it's in my way
Chorus
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
part chorus
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call
me, maybe?
chorus
Your stare was___________
Ripped jeans, skin was_____
Hot night, wind was________
Where you think you're ______, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
And this is_______________
But here's my____________
So call
me, _____________?
It's hard to look___________
At you_____________
But here's my______________
So call me, ___________?
Hey, I just met you,

And all the__________
Try to____________
