they say the darndest things!
Last week I was leading my first graders in a discussion about isopods (a.k.a. roly poly bugs). We created this experiment to see whether they prefer moist or dry soil. I asked if anyone knew what the word moist meant. One little boy raised his hand and began his explanation, “Well, you know when you eat cereal and it gets sort of soggy? Yeah, soggy. It’s like the scientific word for soggy.” Try and top that Wikipedia!
