Smart thinking!

One of my fourth graders made an observation last Friday..... he came up to me and said, 'I noticed that some of the days of the week are like some of the planet names, like martes (Tuesday) is like Marte (Mars) and lunes (Monday) is like luna (moon).' Wow! What an example of a student thinking about the language and how words connect one to the other!! (We had done a theme on outer space in Third Grade, and the planets with their names are displayed in our classroom).... definitely smart thinking!
