FAVORITE FIELD TRIP QUOTE

Yesterday, we took all the fourth graders to the Kentucky History Center and the Old Capitol. While sitting in the Senate side of the Old Capitol, one of my students, we'll call him Timmy, raised his hand to ask a question. The following is the exchange that caused me to put my head in my hands and moan mornfully.

Tour Guide: "Yes? Do you have a question?"

Timmy: "Yes. I want to know what those holes in the ceiling are. There's light coming through them."

Tour Guide: "Ummmmmm ... those are lights."
