So today the FUNNIEST thing happened today in reading buddies. Our kids were presenting their alphabet books (a project we did a little while ago where the kids came up with different vocab words and fun drawings and crazy coolness) to their reading buddies. Some groups worked really hard on their books and others just completed the project. It was interesting watching our students attempting to wrangle their buddies in. It was even more interesting when I watched an interaction between one of our... more wild, out there, wonderful kids and her reading buddy. The interaction was as follows (202= our kid, 007= reading buddy kid):
202 kid: "please come out from under the table"
007 kid: ignores and continues to hid under table
202 kid: " please come out. NOW"
007 kid: no change
202 kid: we worked really hard on this, you need to respect that.
007 kid: comes out and starts waddling
202 kid: please walk like a second grader, i know you can
Now if you haven't bursted into laughter I'm disappointed. The fact that a fourth grader said the phrase, " we worked really hard on this, you need to respect that" with a STRAIGHT face I might add is amazing! Now if only I could get her to reflect and realize the reason she knows that phrase is because I've said it to her many times....
