I thought this was a pretty catchy title. And you might enjoy the catchy story that goes with it.
Today we were comparing pictures of different types of waves. I thought it was a relatively interesting area of curriculum. The 6th graders probably had their own opinions....which I didn't ask for.
So as we compared one of the questions was, "How are the waves changing?" The answer is the waves are breaking at the shoreline and more white, instead of blue. Everyone got this, easily. So, to make things more challenging, I said, "What causes waves to turn white?"
I called on a student who I knew would have the right answer. The student said, "Waves turn white because it's dolphin toothpaste!" Although this wasn't the right answer, it made my day! I kindly said, "You are incorrect, but that was the cutiest part of my day and TYVM for that!" While this student had the wrong answer, the answer immediately made me think of everything I love this year (but not limited to): llamas, unicorns, llamacorns, rainbows, glitter, fainting goats, mermaids and dolphins!
