I Heart My Job.

So I was looking at a reading comprehension exercise with a student, hoping to also give her a little more info about wild animals in Canada.

Me: Do you know what these animals are?
A: Deer are…deer. I know. But not elk. Or caribou.
Me: They are also kinds of deer. Caribou are like reindeer, but bigger. (I holod my hand about three and a half feet off the ground)Elk are really big. (I hold my hand out about four and a half feet high) About this big.
A: That big? Why don’t we ride them?

Totally good question. I, for one, would like to tame and ride an elk.
