A frickin’ elephant!

My five-year old students are learning to read.

Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said, ‘Look at this!  It’s a frickin’ elephant!’

I took a deep breath, then asked…’What did you call it?’

‘It’s a frickin’ elephant! It says so on the picture!’

And so it does…

‘ A f r i c a n  Elephant ‘

Hooked on phonics!    Ain’t it wonderful?
