A Little Brainwashing

Call me a proud mom, but with the beginning of the football season, it's hard not to be excited about watching my son Ben's games. At school today I was proudly wearing my new Toreador football sweatshirt. During my daily writing demonstration this morning, I wrote a story about going to the football game tonight, and encouraged the kids to attend the game with their families.

Later in the morning, as we walked to PE class, I told the kids that their PE teacher also happens to be one of the team's coaches. I asked the class, "What will you yell at the game tonight?" Mr. Hoover patiently played along and guessed, "Go Boone?" 

"No," they corrected him. "Go Ben !"
