Student Talk

Kindergartener:

"I like being a boy because you don't have babies out of your tummy."

Student Talk

Best part of the day so far:

1 - grade 2 girl: "Are you a teenager?  'Cause you look like a teenager."


2 - an older man in either a speedo or his skimpies racing a romote control car up and down his driveway.

Can we all just give an AMEN for warm sun today! 

oh ya...

and this 

happened a

few days ago!

Grade 1
end of the day...

boy - "are you going to be here tomorrow?"

me - "I don't think so."

boy - "when will I see you next?"

me - "I'm not sure.  Maybe I'll see you at the grocery store or at the library someday."

boy - "well...I have a blue jacket!"

Today's Kindergarten Highlights:

• Being called Ms Spyglass all day by a well meaning boy...(on the right track but not quite)
• Reminding a boy constantly to take his hands out of his pants (in a Kindy classroom ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS!).
• Having two students cough directly in my face (if i don't get sick, it'll be a miracle).
• A boy with his coat on upside down (arms in sleeves and all) ready to go outside.
• Same boy...brought in cupcakes for his birthday...two cupcakes were left...I asked if he wanted to give them to the two grade 7 lunch monitors in the classroom, he says "no, I think I'll take them home."
• Cupcake explosions on the floor, tables, and faces.
• "jump like a bunny to the other side" = the smoothest gym class ever.

what a handful!

Student Talk

My conversation with a grade 2 boy

student: "I know how stars are there."

me: "really, how?"

student: "the volcanoes in space explode lava into pieces that float around."

Student Talk

Scene:  Guest speaker talking to the grade 3/4 class I'm subbing in about what is needed to survive on a deserted island.  The kids will eventually need to make a list of important items to bring.

GS: "When you make this list, imagine you're a bit older..."

Lukas: "25."

GS: "Sure, old enough to camp on your own."

Lukas very definitively says: "oh, 45."
