I Felt Foolish

Let’s make man *****erectus the teacher said. I did not know what they meant, thinking it might be an appendage we should not add As this Legos project was being done as a group project in a fourth-grade class. I voiced my concerns. The teacher looked horrified. She suggested that I look up *****erectus. I did and felt foolish now; I could barely look at her. I had never heard of the Pleistocene period and barely knew where Indonesia was. Maybe you could help with the lemonade stand? The teacher suggested. I ran to get the cups.
