Wilbur

So for those of you who don't know, I co-teach 1st grade. Three of my students have a hearing loss. One of them is Jewish, and struggles the most to pay attention and process information/make connections etc.

We read chapter 7 of Charlotte's Web today. It's titled "Bad News", this is when the old sheep breaks the news to Wilbur that he is being raised to be killed and eaten at Christmas time. I was checking in with my student mentioned above to make sure she was following the story. She said "They are going to kill him because they want to eat him." Then she paused and said "...but Wilbur is not kosher."

It made my day.
