That's shirt with an "r"

Today we were reading a short story called "The Missing Shirt." It's a lame tale about how this boy is getting ready for school but can't find his beloved shirt. (Yes, it's really as boring as it sounds.) After reading it together the students had to answer some comprehension questions about the story. The last question asked where did the boy eventually find the missing shirt. Just now as I was grading the papers one of the responses caused me to realize that I need to spend some more time teaching spelling. One of my students wrote "The boy found the brown shit on the bathroom floor." If you're finding poop on the floor then you have more problems than just spelling words correctly.
