The teacher said, \u201cThat was good, but I wanted you to use the word \u2018fascinate.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarita raised her hand. She said, \u201cMy family went to the Cincinnati Zoo and I was fascinated by the\u00a0animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?<\/p>\n Paddy: Seven.<\/p>\n Teacher: Let\u2019s try this another way! If I give you two apples and two apples and another two apples,\u00a0how many apples\u00a0have you got?<\/p>\n Paddy: Six.<\/p>\n Teacher: Good. Now if I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?<\/p>\n Paddy: Seven.<\/p>\n Teacher: How on earth do you work out that three lots of two rabbits is seven?<\/p>\n Paddy: I\u2019ve already got one rabbit at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A teacher asked her students to use the word\u00a0\u201cfascinate\u201d\u00a0in a sentence.
