The Letter F

Friday morning had arrived. 

As usual I was sitting down with my class doing group time. 

We talked about the weather, 

we talked about what letter we were talking about this week (the letter F),

then we  talked about the days of the week. 

I asked my helper to tell me what day it was. (Friday)

She repeated back to me "FRIDAY!"

Then came the excited chattering "Friday starts with the letter F!" 

YES! (this is one of those moments when you feel like a successful teacher)

Then. . . 

"Just like FURSDAY!!!"

About 3/4 of the class nodded their heads enthusiastically 

 "Fursday starts with the letter F!" they all joined in. 

I couldn't help but laugh. 

Then we had a long lesson about the difference between TH and F
