Contractions

Mrs. E is teaching the kids how they can take out a letter when using two words and create contractions from them.  Riley is loving this!  When Mrs. E came to pick up her class this afternoon, she said that she had a funny story for me.

A few days ago Riley was reading through words on a video that were contractions.  Mrs. E listed them for me and said that Riley was reading them nice and loud and clearly.

Couldn't
Wouldn't
Shouldn't
She's
It's

The video confirmed what she had read until the fourth word.

Riley read:  Shit's
The video read: She's

Riley said "Oh.  That wasn't what I said."  She didn't laugh or smirk or get embarrassed because she didn't know it was a bad word.  Love that she's still so innocent!
