I am a paraprofessional in a 6th grade ELA class. Our teacher does a read-aloud every MWF. The class chose to read The Unteachables! We read Aldo's first chapter where was very upset that the vending machine gave him a Mounds bar instead of a Zagnut. This led us to Google what the heck a Zagnut even is. We chuckled when we realized that Zagnuts are covered in toasted coconut and Aldo HATES coconut. Is this a sneaky irony? Who's going to tell Aldo that Zagnut has coconut??

Thanks for the laughs!

Hi, Meagan,

Thanks for posting. Yes, it may be an irony. And it may also be that, until now, I had no idea Zagnuts were coconut thingies. I just liked the name.  Hope THE UNTEACHABLES went over well wih the class.

Oh my gosh, you made our whole day! 

Would you be interested in doing a Zoom with our class sometime?

Glad I made an impression, Meagan! I do a lot of personal visits and Zooms, arranged through my office:

Maybe we'll meet on Zoom one of these days.                                                                             --GK--
