Today we read a story called "A Party for Bob". Long story short, several children walk through the door and have a surprise party for some kid named Bob. We are comparing and contrasting the gifts, what they look like...all that good stuff.
Duval County is big on kids writing in journals. Even in first grade. So usually what we do is allow them to discuss their answers with each other and then write. Believe it or not, it really help them get their little thoughts on the paper.
So today I told the kids to turn and talk to each other about what they would have brought Bob for his party and why. I was the model teacher, y'all! Showed them how I wanted it done on the projector and everything! i was kinda proud of myself.
Since TB did not have a partner today, I decided that I would be her partner and I asked her what she would bring to the party.
Here we go:
Me: What would you bring Bob to the party?
TB: I think I would bring him a ball for a gift.
Now this is great because I just love when they talk to me in a complete sentence and not say stuff like 'because' or "I dunno."
Me: That sounds nice. Why would you bring him a ball?
Wait for it...because you know it's coming
TB: Because he is a boy and they like to play with their balls.
I love my job...
