I observed in a first grade class today. All of the children were busy reading and the teacher was having a discussion about folk tales. The children were comparing and contrasting the different versions of the tales. One boy in all innocents asked, "Why did Little Red Riding Hood's parents give her the name "Riding" for a middle name?" In all my years of teaching I never wondered that nor has any other child. Amazing you can learn something new every day! And what would be the answer?
