Make it Mighty!!

I had the best class yesterday afternoon! My second grade students were working on story quilts based on "Tar Beach" by Faith Ringgold. We imagined ourselves flying. We read the story about the story quilt. And then finally we got to drawing. I told the students to try to make themselves the largest part of the picture because he or she is the most important part of the drawing. As I was repeating this for emphasis one of my students suddenly calls out "Make it Mighty" and puts his arms up in a muscle man pose. I started laughing instantly! I couldn't hold it back, it was so cute! I don't like the students to yell out, but I made an exception with this one. :)
