Inside a First Grader’s Mind…

Today the secretary came to me and recounted the following story to me which had earlier occurred in the office.

‘Michael’ came to her with a scrap of folded up paper on which his phone number was written so that the secretary could change his personal contact information.  He read the phone number out loud to her.  As his eyes peered from behind the scrap of paper he read, “five, one, five minus six, two, two, seven.”

I am sure the secretary had a grin on her face when he finished.    I am just glad he can recognize his numbers.
