Magic from Nathan

During our morning meeting today, Nathan looked up at me and said, "Hey... you're magic..." Apparently he had some sort of rash on his leg that was going away, which he attributed to me being magic and taking care of that for him. When some of the kids laughed, I said, "Maybe I am magic... How do you know?" Gavin looked at me very seriously and replied, "Because you're not a musician." 

Another great moment with Nathan happened later in the day during reading groups. Nathan was supposed to have written the word used, but instead wrote something like "nsd." I asked Nathan why he had an 'n' in there if the word is 'used' and he said, 

"I wrote nused." 

"Nused is not a word, Nathan." 

"Yes, it is." 

"Okay then use it in a sentence."

"I nused... candy."
