It’s funny how sometimes just one word can make your day go in a different direction. Not a big direction change but a change in your daily plan. Today one word changed my whole lunch plan!
Today during guided reading our book referenced the word subway. So like I always do with words that the kiddos might not be familiar with I asked if they knew what a subway was. Right away D raised her hand! This is one of the higher groups in kindergarten so the kids tend to have a decent vocabulary.
“Subway is a sandwich!” My mind did not go there, but she was right! One student was not familiar with Subway so we started talking about what it was. I then told them the other meaning that was referenced in the book, and the lesson continued and the story moved on but my mind didn’t.
I kept thinking about sandwiches and my lunch; which didn’t contain a sandwich. It was a pretty good lunch but not a sandwich. A sandwich sounded perfect.
Luckily and unluckily Jimmy John’s is a quick delivery click away. I already ordered on Monday and I hate to do it twice in the same week especially with the high delivery charge and the fact that I did have a pretty decent lunch.
But as guided reading continued I couldn’t stop thinking of having a sandwich. I had to make a decision quick if I wanted to get lunch in time.
What to do.. what to do.. would that one word change my lunch plans?? Big choices! 🤣
11:45 my Jimmy John’s arrived and suddenly my lunch plan changed all thanks to one word.
I feel like once you get a food idea in your head, you HAVE to act on it! I ordered lunch twice this week, too.
It’s interesting sometimes to see how students background knowledge (at any age) may surprise us!
