table that is next to the window. Our classroom just got big brand new windows installed, and
everything looks so clear. Outside our window we have a beautiful tree that attracts all kinds of
birds. When the children are writing you can hear the birds singing and it sounds so beautiful
although it's very distracting. It's like having a bird show with all kinds of birds visiting the tree.
When I was with the student a bird flew by the window and he said "look at that bird". The bird
was cute I don't know what kind of bird it was. However, it looked to me like a bird we saw when
we went ice skating last winter. The children and even myself we're excited because we saw a
paragon falcon in Central Park on our way to the ice skating rink. The boy I was reading to had
so much knowledge about the paragon falcon that he even knew the speed the bird flies.
To me it was amazing how much a six year old taught me about a bird I know nothing about.
In the table I was reading with the student another teacher was sitting across from us reading
to another student. The student I was reading to was talking pretty loud, so the teacher sitting
at the table joined our conversation about the paragon falcon. The teacher asked him Bobby,
Do you know how fast does the paragon falcon flies? He said " I believe it flies a hundred miles
per hour". The teacher said "I can run that fast and my car also goes a hundred miles
per hour". The student looked at the teacher and said " then why do you have a car if you can
run that fast. The teacher did not know what to say, and just looked at me and smiled.
The student starred at the both of us and smiled. Then began laughing non-stop while looking at
us. It's like he was saying to himself yeah I got you both now what you have to say because
we were speechless. It made me laugh because this boy is so outspoken and so smart.
