Kids say the darndest things!

*Adam sits at his table and reads a book about animals. Suddenly, from across the room I hear. “Ms. H!! Come look at this!”

I cross the room and stand next to Adam. “Look at this Wowl!” He points to a picture of an owl perched on a tree. “Oh yes, Adam that is a very cool Owl.” I say. “Nooo.” He says. “A wowl Ms. H.”

I point at the picture. “Adam. This is an owl. Can you say owl?” He looks up at me with his bright blue bambi eyes and exclaims. “Nooo. It’s a Wowl like Wow it’s an owl!”

Gotta love that boys brain. 

Wowl- Wow! It's an owl!

Christian reads his guided reading book that he has meticulously been practicing all week.

He points his finger under each word. I see the clown. I see the dog.

Reading these words is a great feat for Christian. Sitting at my guided reading table he reads the entire book without an error or even correction. “Christian!” I say. “You did it!”

Christian stands up, pushing his chair back. Throwing his hands up in the air while doing the moonwalk he exclaims “Hell yah! That’s what I’m talking about!” –His enthusiasm is priceless.  I even let the curse word slide. ;)

Christian is a pro moonwalker
