Answer of the Day

I was reading with the first graders after school a book called The Pond. In order to help them with key vocabulary words, I drew a picture of a pond on the board and asked them what animals they would find in a pond. Keep in mind that there are thousands of rivers, ponds, lakes, etc. out here. So I drew a fish, thinking this was an easy breezy connection for them. What did I hear?

SHARK!!!!!!

Me: Nope. Not a shark. Look again.

Students: SHARKKK!!!

Me, as I was laughing out loud and shaking my head no: It's a fish guys. You know fish, you catch them! Apparently it made no difference what I was trying to teach them, b/c they kept shouting shark.
