The Elephant :)

We who have taught, or love children who have been taught, know this is funny!
From the diary of a Pre-School 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?

That is so cute! Very funny! I can't imagine how you got through eating your food when you saw those men in Scottish wear. ha
