Constructing the code and a funny😳

Constructing the code of language is no easy task. Today we worked with personal name puzzles. The range of print knowledge is varied among the children to say the least. Some already understand word parts and some do not know letter names. Watching them reconstruct the simple puzzles was difficult for some of them. Letters had to be flipped and turned as well as finding the correct order before gluing them down on their workspace. The interesting part was listening to them "explain" their puzzle to a friend. Now to end this entry with a funny!  This morning they came in excited and chatty. They were telling me all sorts of things about their snack, family and other things that had happened that morning. One little girl raised her hand and said, "oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you - my little brother is having trouble pooping"!  OKAY. that was a little too much information......
