there may be a caterpillar

On Friday I got the opportunity to observe in the second grade classroom at the school where I teach Kindergarten. During writing time, the students were asked to do an outline before they wrote their accordion paragraph.

One boy wrote about Teen Center. Some Friday nights a number of the teens run a "restaurant" that we call Hamburger Night. At hamburger night you can get all kinds of food and socialize with friends.

This little boy wrote something similar to this.
Topic: Teen Center
Teen Center is soooooo fun! You can get hamburgers and chips (that means fries for you Americans) and they are big. You can get milkshakes. They also have salads which may have caterpillars. The milkshakes are cold. You should go to teen center. It is the best!

His paragraph looked pretty similar to this. I read it and thought, "wow, what advertisement". This little guy is not even fazed that there are caterpillars in the lettuce, he probably thinks it's cool. But the fact that he just moved on and kept describing the milkshakes makes me think that it is just a normal thing to him!

haha....So come to Teen Center and there may be a caterpillar in the lettuce....but it's fun and yummy!

Gotta love kids!
