Here are two cute things some of my first graders have said this week:
Miss Peeler, if you ever come way out in the country where I live you will see wild hogs. The kind with big tusks. Them are dangerous. You need to stay away from them. (Yeah, apparently we still need to work on grammar here in first grade!) Same child also said that their accent was so country that they wrote are instead of our.
One of our spelling words this week is bridle. One of my students asked what that was, and since I have another student who rides horses, I asked that child if he would like to explain to the class what it was. He grinned and put his hands together and said proudly, " Well, do you know about a steering wheel in a car? That's what a bridle is for a horse." He then went into great detail about how it worked.
I just loved it! Having students teach other students and share their knowledge is so awesome. It definitely encourages them in their quest of learning.
Looking ahead to this weekend, I'm hosting my discipleship girls for lunch on Saturday. I hope that, not only do they come, but they enjoy themselves. I question myself. Why would they want to hang out with me. I'm not exactly "cool". Then I remind myself of the previous post and where my security lies. Then I worry some more. I'll let you know how it goes. Pray for me!
