Alrighty Guys, Josh told me I have to write about this... so here you go! :)
Today, I was teaching a lesson on compound words. I said, "A compound word is 2 little words that go together to make 1 big word - like butterfly. Let's share some examples."
Halle said with excitement and confidence, "butthole!"
Should I just stop there?!
I want to, but can't. My mouth just dropped open. I looked at Sophie - then back at Halle - then we all just started cracking up laughing.
I said to Halle (after we got ourselves calmed down), "Halle you are correct, but that's a really yucky word. Don't say that again."
As I was tucking Sophie into bed that night, we were talking about compound words. Sophie said, "I still can't believe Halle said butthole!" Then Sophie and I started laughing hysterically again! I reminded Sophie, "Sophie, that's a really yucky word. Don't repeat that!" :)
Josh came in to see what we were laughing about. We shared our story with him. Josh's response (mouth dropped open), "She's exactly right. What a great example. You have to write about that!"
Love ya, Halle!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! Of course Halle said that. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to share with you, I was in Grace's room last year when her teacher taught about compound words, and her "key" was that in order for it to be a compound word, each little word has to be "drawable". So basement isn't a compound word because you can't draw -ment. I thought it was good! So there it is, in case it's helpful. :)
Leave it up to Hal to keep us laughing!!!
ReplyDeleteLove you to the moon and back down, sweet grandchild of mine,
