It was raining again. My second-grade students were indoors for recess and enjoying free time when a student approached me and asked, “How do I spell because?” I responded, “That’s a tricky one—have you checked the word wall?”
The student answered with a familiar tune, “Oh yeah! I forget about the wall sometimes, it’s so high up.” She waltzed over to the word wall and craned her neck to find the word because written at the top of the wall, in my handwriting.
