"Hey, everybody! Take five."

I've been reading "Elmer and the Dragon" during read-aloud, and one of the characters in that book is a canary, King Can XI. At one point, he lists all the former kings (King Can I, King Can II, etc, etc) Jaydeen was intensely curious as to why he was called X I, so I told her to talk to me at choosing.

I explained Roman Numerals to her at choosing, and then showed her this video. At the end of it, she exclaimed, "Take five! I get it! Because V is five!"

Yessssssssss.
