Today is the second class in our current four-class set. The phrase of the week is, "downright kumbaya." This phrase comes from a religious folk song. We use this phrase to describe harmony and peace. Imagine people sitting around a campfire singing together. For example, "Everybody in class gets along, it is downright kumbaya."
