E is for effort

Additions to the 1st grade sentence board:
I am good at robots.
I am afraid of cheese.

Also, one of the activities on the seatwork in first grade this week was a 'fill in the blank with the right word from the word box' activity.  We were working with the 'id' word family - kid, lid, did, hid etc.  The sentence said, "Mom put a ___ on the pot."  The appropriate answer, obviously, is lid.  One youngster put "kid," thus changing the entire meaning of the sentence

Another childhood phrase has survived the test of time: "What you say is what you are, you're a naked movie star."  I ask myself why anyone would want to be a naked movie star.  A hot, rich movie star perhaps...but naked?
