WJW - Learning cycle

Mar 10, 2004 7:21AM PST

A group of kindergartners were trying to become accustomed to first grade.

The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on no baby talk.

"You need to use 'big people' words," she'd always remind them.

She asked Wendy what she had done on the weekend.

"I went to visit my Nana."

"No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use big people words!"

She then asked Joey what he had done..

"I took a ride on a choo-choo."

She said, "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. Use big people words."

She then asked Eddie what he had done. "I read a book," he replied..

"That's wonderful," the teacher said. "What book did you read?"

Eddie thought about it, then puffed out his chest and with great pride
said, "Winnie the S***."
