Elephant

From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher:


My five year old students are learning to read.


Yesterday one of my students pointed to a picture in a zoo book and said, "Look at this!  Its a frickin' elephant!"


I took a deep breath and asked..."What did you call it?"


"Its 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 great?

  1. I've heard a similar story about a kid getting confused about the term "African American". Cute kids!
