THE KID IS ON TO SOMETHING
Today, during Reading Workshop, I asked my kids to write a letter to me, in their Reader's Notebook, telling me about their greatest adventure (we'd been reading about Lewis and Clark and their great adventure to the West). I told them it could be a dream they've had of some cool adventure or they could make up something or they could tell me about something they've actually done.
One of my sweet babies, we'll call him Riley, brought me his letter, detailing how his fantasy adventure was becoming Indiana Jones. Many of you know my love affair with Indy, and so I squealed, "Indiana Jones! Riley, I love Indiana Jones! That's awesome! Why do you want to be Indiana Jones?"
"Well," he answered. "For all the reasons in my letter, plus ..."
And Riley smirked, as he slyly lowered his head, "plus, he gets to kiss all the girls!"
Please! He's killing me! Who wouldn't want to eat this child up with a spoon?!?!?
