Writing about the good listener badge yesterday sparked another first grade memory. I remember making some reference to Snoopy and Woodstock from Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strip. Another student, thinking she was correcting me, said, "Actually, it's Woodchuck."
"No," I said. "It's Woodstock."
A row of students murmured, "She's right. It's Woodchuck."
"No, it's not Woodchuck. It's Woodstock," I said, growing irritated.
While not remembering the correct name of Snoopy's bird friend doesn't exactly warrant the death penalty, I still wonder how a whole row of students remembered Woodstock's name incorrectly.
