There is a different boy--not as sweet--who asks questions I can't explain on a daily basis. Today we were reading about Erik Weihenmayer, the blind mountain climber, and a sentence said something about 'whet his appetite.' Boy said, "Mrs. Smith, there is a typo." Well I knew it wasn't a typo, but I didn't know why it wasn't a typo. So I looked it up. Wet means to soak something, but Whet means to stimulate. Look at how smart 6th grade is making me.
I just love to hear the stories you tell about your class. I'm glad it's all going well for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed that as I read this I thought, "Amber, yes, that is a typo. That's not how you spell wet."
