Hello everyone!

I just wanted to share this with *someone* because I thought it was hilarious and awesome. I hope this is the right place to post it!

I'm a second grade teacher, and at the moment I’m teaching my class how to write narratives. This is the scene from my classroom today.

[Kids are sitting on the carpet, watching me with their wide-eyed ‘teach me’ expressions]

Me: Okay, so who can remember what comes first in a narrative?

[20 hands shoot up]

Me: Yes, {generic child A}?

Generic child A: The title!

Me: That’s correct! What comes next?

[Same 20 hands wave around in the air]

Generic child B: The orientation! The who, what, when and why!

Me: Wonderful!

[This continues until…]

Me: How do we finish our stories? What comes at the end of the story?

Superkid, who absolutely made my day: The concussion!

Some days, Superkid, I think you are 100% correct. You get the gold star!
