day-to-day vocabulary. For example, after learning about Harriet Tubman and talking about how brave she was, the children trans- ferred the meaning of brave from the rap to describe firefighters, police officers, and animal trainers at the circus! When Michelle discussed the President Obama rap with the preschool children, she asked them what opportunity meant No one knew. It was not an easy meaning to convey, but by finding times throughout the day to highlight the use of opportunity (e.g., mentioning to the children that they have the opportunity to eat lunch on schedule or to delay it in order to finish a story, the concept of substituting a chance or a for the word opportunity began to sink in Michelle knew that 4-year-old Jordan got it when, in the middle of reading a story, Michelle noticed that it was time to pack up to go home.

We have an opportunity to stop and get ready quicker or choose to finish.
