A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to
become
accustomed to the first grade. The biggest
hurdle they faced was that the
teacher insisted on NO
baby talk!
'You need to use 'Big People' words,'
she was always
reminding them.
She asked Chris what he had done over the
weekend.
'I went to visit my Nana.'
'No, you went to visit your
GRANDMOTHER. Use Big
People' words!'
She then asked Mitchell what he had
done. 'I took a
ride on a choo choo.'
She said 'No, you took a ride on a
TRAIN. You must
remember to use 'Big People' words.'
She then asked little
Zach what he had done.
'I read a book,' he replied.
'That's WONDERFUL!'
the teacher sai d. 'What book did
you read?'
[I love this]
Zach
thought real hard about it, then puffed out his
chest with great pride, and
said,
'Winnie the chit.'
