This, from a friend who teaches Fourth Grade...during an afternoon spelling class...
Teacher: George*, the ten words on this list need to be in alphabetical order.
George*: Really?
Teacher: Really.
George*: May I use an alphabet sheet?
Teacher: Sure, if you need one. Cross the words off as you use them.
George*: OK, if you say so.
Several minutes later, the teacher walked over to George*'s desk.
Teacher: Hmm, I see 5 words on this sheet and some on your new sheet.
George*: Look! I did 5 already.
George* proudly held up his work, which did indeed contain 5 words, neatly written in alphabetical order...every letter in every one of the words, in alphabetical order.
Well. Ok then.
*George is not his real name (obviously).

Hickory--that's one of the things I love best about teaching: the kids and I end up laughing a lot on a regular basis. Thanks for stopping by!
