IDIOM 1: BREAK THE ICE

                                   📚✨ Idioms Monday in 4th Grade ✨📚

Today we start a new section in class: Idioms Monday.

Every Monday we will learn a typical expression from English culture.

                                                    👩‍🏫 What is an idiom?

An idiom is a special expression in English. The words say one thing, but the meaning is different.

👉 Example in Spanish: “Estar en las nubes” doesn’t mean you are really flying—it means you are distracted.

                                          📌 Why are idioms important?

Because native speakers use them all the time. Learning idioms makes our English sound more natural and fun.

📝 Instructions:

1. On a white piece of paper, write the idiom.

2. Write its meaning in Spanish.

3. Draw a picture of the idiom. The picture can be literal (ice breaking) or show the real meaning (people starting to talk).

4. Write one sentence using it.

📅 You have from Monday to next Monday to finish it.

✅ Example sentence:

“The teacher told a joke to break the ice on the first day of school.”
