Learning Is Sweet

As a first-grade reading teacher, I had to test students at the beginning of the school year to determine their reading levels. Part of the assessment was having them read a sheet with upperand lowercase letters randomly ordered. One of the students I was testing came to a lowercase m. He looked and looked at it. Finally, he turned to me and said, “I have seen that letter on M&M’S, but I don’t know what it’s called.”
