post courtesy of my momma (a teacher):
My five-year old students, are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said, "Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
I took a deep breath, then asked..."What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does...
A f r i c a n Elephant
Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?
