Today I was getting ready to read with a small group of first grade students, and the book was about birds. I asked what schema they had about birds (what they already know). And this was one response:
Student: When they frown it means they're hungry.
Me: stifled laughter, then..."I thought they had beaks, like this." (used my fingers to make a beak shape over my mouth)
Student: (awkward look)
Me: How can you tell they are frowning if they have beaks?
Student: Their eyes. When they close their eyes and give you a sad face it means you need to give them bread.
