Freckles

Everytime I introduce a new letter and its sounds, I like to see what the kids already know. Today I introduced the letter 'f'. I have them raise their hands and tell me words that start with 'f'. I got the traditional frog, fox, food, feet, fair and funny. Then I move on to giving them clues about f words and see if they can follow my trail of clues. Today's conversation went something like this:

Mrs. T: What are the little dots that are sometimes on peoples faces?
MV: Pimples!
Mrs. T: well, pimple starts with a 'P', we are looking for words that start with 'f'
LZ: Frankles!

I simply said freckles and moved on! SO funny!

I finally had to break down and call Z's dad today. He came to the school to "take care of things" if you know what I mean.

During play time today, Z was putting puzzles together and when told to clean up he looked me dead in the eye, said "NO", and stuck his tongue right out at me! Then proceeded to call me a "booty head!" A little while later he interrupted my lesson to tell me that I was crazy!
Let's just say I hope he has a better day today!

Have a great one!
Until next time,
Sam
