This morning things were relatively calm in class; I had a guided reading group and the rest of the students were in literacy centers.
Three second graders - two girls and one boy - were in spelling. They chatted as they worked, as you do.
At one point the boy came over to my table with some urgency and asked " Is there a boy in Wonder Woman?"
I answered "Yes" and he turned back to his table, validated. But I couldn't let it end there so I added, "His name is Steve."
A chorus rose up from the whole class "...Steve" and it struck me as so funny. They sounded like Minions.
Apparently the girls were deciding to both be Wonder Woman for either recess or Halloween and the boy didn't want to be left out.
Steee-ve
