We were greeting our new student from Morocco today, and as
luck would have it, most of my ESL children were sitting next to each other.
As each child greeted Amira, I gave a bit of background information each time.
“Amira, this is Sally and she’s from Mexico!” (And they
said good morning to each other.)
“This is Paul, and he’s from India!” (And they said good morning to each
other.)
“This is Grace and she’s from Germany!” (And they said good
morning to each other.)
“This is Mark and he’s from Russia!” (And they said good
morning to each other.)
And for the next child I said, “This is Marly and she’s from
Turkey!” (And they said good morning to each other.)
Max stood up and put his hand up to me, “It’s okay, Mrs.
Smythe, I got this!” he said smiling.
He turned to Amira, held out his hand and said, “My name is Max, and I’m part
Baltimore.”
He walked back to sit in the circle and then turned back to
her. He said dramatically, “But only PART Baltimore. Just part.”

I crazy love Max...........every single time.
I was wondering where that was going... :)
Yep, Max did it again!
Then there is the other "Where did I come from . . ." question (that parents fumble with) - of course, the part Baltimore is the answer that Max is looking for there too!

So funny .. so I'm wondering what the non Baltimore part is?!
Just found your site and am loving it. Need to grab some me time to catch up on your posts. Thanks for the laugh.
