Oops

So for guided reading right now, one of my groups is reading a biography on Sojourner Truth (you know, the former slave and abolitionist?). Well each time we meet the students have to bring vocabulary words to discuss. The other day one of my students brought the vocabulary word prostitute... Really? I didn't even know how to respond. So I said, that isn't a word we need to discuss here at school, go home and ask your parents if you want to know. Ya, I probably shouldn't have said that. I wonder how many calls I will get from parents asking me why their son/daughter is reading a book with prostitutes in it in the 5th grade. Ma bad...
