Kids say the funniest things....

Every once in awhile one of my students will say something that is just too funny to not share. In fact, this story was told to me by our art teacher Mrs. Perry. This morning she was supervising the breakfast line in the cafeteria. She overheard a couple of my students practicing their colors in spanish. She chimed in with them and was telling them what a great job they were doing. One little boy in my class was so excited that he just had to tell Mrs. Perry something. He said "Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Perry!" She of course said "Yes....." He told her "I can say my sister's name in Spanish!" She said "You can? Let's hear it." Then my student goes on to say "Abby". It was just too cute to not share!

Today during a CAFE mini lesson we talked about a new skill, retell familiar stories. We practiced as a class with two books we know very well. During stations I saw several students practicing our new skill today!
