Our class wasn't sure which kind of carnival book to create. We decided to "brainstorm" together.
To think of lots of ideas
When my class started to chat, Mrs. Brents told us to pay attention since time was short, but we still had "to cover a lot of ground".
To go over new material or learn things
Lily waited until the last minute to do everything. The night before the project was due, she had to "crank out a paper".
To quickly write or type a paper
Ms. Green is nice to everyone, but she is extra sweet to Ryan. Everyone knows he is "the teacher's pet".
The teacher's favorite student
Gabe goofed off so much that finally, Mr. Davis said, I'm "keeping an eye on you"!
I'm watching you
When I brought a heavy volcano project to school, I asked Jake to "give me a hand".
To help someone
After the principal heard kids playing in the bathroom, we knew they would be "in hot water".
To be in trouble
The research project took so long to create that we were "working our fingers to the bone".
Working really hard
My teacher said that if we can memorize our math facts, next year we'll be "ahead of the game"!
Someone who is more likely to succeed
When we finished our biography projects, Mrs. Lang said that now we were "armed with skills".
Someone with helpful experiences
Ms. Owens told us that good writers observe things carefully. She told us we could write better dialogue if we kept our "ears to the ground".
To pay attention to everything
