[Teacher] Okay I want you all to write a letter like we practiced last week to the chicken--
[Pencil Boxes and Movement]
...but first [Reddith not yet known to be autistic is now lining his pencils up on the floor next to him]
...Reddy. Everyone needs to use three of our words up here. I've written them nice and neat so you all can practice your form. They are Chicken, Mother, Father, Family, Birthday, Egg, and Shell. Any questions--yes Amy?

[Amy] Can we name it?

Tomorrow we are going to vote on a name so don't choose one yet but remember any good ones you think of for tomorrow.

[Reddy] We should name it Tendee
[multiple NO!] [other boys observing outrage]
[Ben] ain't no way there's a tendee inside that thing, we got two chickuns at home Shelby and Dodge and they get fat though just got to get them lots of corn ants spiders hay water cheerios but no milk earthworms--
[EWww]

Letter time, you all can come up and look after you finish all the letter and choose three words OR more of these words to use inside.

[Reddy] draws chicken nugget egg with yellow coloring pencil and then flips the page to write Chicken, Egg, Chicken, Reeeddy
