Stinky Cheese Man


T-y's teacher requires a literature response each month. This month, T-y had to give a literature response to a book that has received the Caldecott Award or honor. T-y chose to give his response to "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Stupid Fairy Tails". It's a pretty funny book, in a stupid way. He had to give the class a response to what the book was about and why he liked it. Shantell helped him create the poster board that described some of the tails. The class thought the "Ugly Duckling" tail was funny.

Once upon a time there was a mother duck and a father duck who had seven baby ducklings. Six of them were regular-looking ducklings. The seventh was a really ugly duckling. Everyone use to say, "What a nice looking bunch of ducklings; all except that one. Boy, he's really ugly." The really ugly duckling heard these people, but he didn't care. He knew that one day he would probably grow up to be a swan and be bigger and look better than anything in the pond. Well, as it turned out, he was just a really ugly duckling. And he grew up to be just a really ugly duck. The End.

I passed out some stinky cheese on crackers to the class after he finished his presentation. Some of the kids thought it smelled like stinky feet. T-y's response was critiqued by his peers. Here are some of their responses to his presentation:

Your dad is "hairlarious"
You did awesome. Nice stinky cheese.
Speak Louder
You did really good. I liked the appetizer's.
I liked how you passed out stink cheese
Dude! That was really awesome.
That was a really great poster.
I like how you did more then one story.
I liked your dessert at the end.

I liked how Mr. Z had the class critique each of the presentations. T-y did kind of struggle and mumbled through some of it. At least now he knows how to do it and what he can improve on the next time. I was pretty darn proud of him today.
