I had a "wow" moment today during an observation in a kindergarten class. The teacher was reading a book to the kids, A Nightmare in my Closet by Merci Mayer. One of the girls in the class raised her hand and said, "I do the same thing every night. I look under my bed before I go to sleep." The teacher asked, "And what are you doing now?" The girl answered "I am making a text to self connection."
I almost fell out of my chair!
Boy, would Kim be proud!!!!!
