The Sherlock Holmies' Book of Idioms

My third grade group better known as the Sherlock Holmies, has been reading Clue Jr: The Case of the Secret Message. The students found figurative language throughout the book, which they learned to identify as idioms. We then checked out the book Raining Cats & Dogs by Will Moses for further exploration, and they published their own collection.

Evolution of the Bat Cave

The TA's keep cozy in their space not uncommonly referred to as more of a closet than a room. People can't seem to refrain from commenting on such the spacious sanctuary =). To excite her group of first grade boys for learning in the aforementioned setting, one TA began inviting them into the "bat cave."

This of course called for a new sign and a touch of decor; I could not resist.

perfectly complements the staff's superhero theme to boot
=)!!
