Spelling Review

Sometimes my students say things that are so funny, I just can't help but laugh. Here is just one example:

We were playing a game to study for for our spelling test this past Thursday. I asked Martha to spell the word "knife." She spelled the word correctly, but I always ask my other students if they agree, or if the student really did spell it right. This is just a tactic to make sure everybody is listening and paying attention. My student Zeke said, "Ms. Davis, I really wouldn't know if she spelled it right or not." I couldn't help myself from smiling. His answer was so mature and sophisticated! I told Zeke that he should probably study those spelling words for the test tomorrow! I can tell he did because he got a B.
