Today in second grade . . .
Female student: Miss G! Do you want to know why my hair looks so bumpy in the back?
(She had her hair in a ponytail and honestly had not noticed the “bumpiness”)
Student: It’s because my Dad did it.
Me: Oh.
Student: And he’s BALD!
Me, chuckling: Ohhh
Today in second grade . . .
(One of my little girls is sharing about a stuffed animal she brought in that was her first stuffed animal when she was a baby)
Classmate: So did you get it from a toy store?
Little girl: No! If I got it from the toy store then it would be a toy, not a plush! This is a plush!
(Co-teacher and I share baffled looks)
Today in 5th grade . . .
A student is dabbing excitedly about something and nearly hits someone in the face when his arms swing up
Me: Hey, careful with your dabbing. You almost hit somebody. Do a quick check next time to make sure no one is right next to you.
Student: YOU KNOW WHAT A DAB IS?!?!?!
Me: ??????? I’m not that old!
Today in first grade . . .
Student: Do you have a daughter?
Me: No.
Student: Do you have a son?
Me: No.
Student: Do you have a son??
Me: You just asked that.
Student: Oh, well do you have a husband?
Me, holding up hands: Nope, not married.
Student: THEN HOW DO YOU HAVE A JOB?!
Today in 1st grade . . .
[In nurse’s office with a boy who’s bumped his head, but not severely]
Nurse: Okay, so I want to know how bad it hurts. I have a little pain scale here and it goes from 1 to 5. 1 is, “Oh this only hurts a little bit.” And 5 is, “This hurts really, really badly.” How would you say your pain is?
Student: Oh, it’s a 73.
[Second nurse and I lock eyes and smother laughter]
Guess who’s finally back!
I know all of you non-existent readers (hi mom) desperately missed me
This summer was eventful certainly for summer school, but not a lot of it was quote-able (and some of those quotes didn’t come from kids, which is the point of this blog)
Anywho, still a daily sub for right now, and school has gotten sufficently underway for me to start getting jobs again so brace yourselves for extremely irregular posts!
Today in ESY . . .
(Or extended school year for those of you lucky enough to avoid this circus)
I’m teaching life skills for the summer and one of my students has decided her favorite thing in the world:
Student: G! HEY G!
Me: Yes [name]?
Student: (overdramatically throwing her arms over me): AH-CHOO!
Me: Is this how we say hello now? We fake sneeze all over people?
Student: (making a fist and pumping her elbow down) Ahhh-CHOOOOOOOOO!
Today in 3rd grade . . .
(In addition to being short, I’m also very young still)
Student: Are you a fourth grader???
Me: . . . . No, I’m a bit older than that.
Student: FIFTH GRADER?!
Me: . . . . .. . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . I’m an Adult.
Student: WHAT?!
Today in 4th grade . . .
(I’m fairly short, about 5′4″ so I’m only slightly taller than most of these students)
Student: Ms. X, no offense or anything, but you’re really small. Like a 9th grader or something. NO, LIKE A 6TH GRADER EVEN!
Me: Thanks, kiddo, I know.
Today in first grade . . .
Today was the last day of a long term assignment as a co-teacher in a first grade classroom (which I was very much sad to leave)
Student: Can’t you just stop living in your house and come live near me and be my neighbor instead?
Today in 1st grade . . .
Me: So tomorrow we’ll be getting a new student. Its exciting going to a new school but it can also be a bit scary, so when she comes in, let’s not all crowd around her at once, it might scare it.
Student: Well, I’m pretty suspicious of new people, so I’ll probably just steer clear of her
Me (internally): . . . . you’re six years old!
Today in 1st grade . . .
Me: Okay, give me a word that rhymes with “cat”
Student (immediately): SHAT!
Me: . . . . well, that’s a nonsense word, can we try a real word that rhymes with “cat”?
Today in first grade . . .
We’re learning how to tell time!
Student (wistfully): I wish I could be a clock . . . that would be so exciting!
Today in 1st grade . . .
I was a little late picking them up from the cafeteria . . .
Student: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!
Today in 1st grade . . .
Me: And in a little over 2 months you’ll have graduated first grade!
Student: Graduated?! I CAN’T GET MARRIED AFTER FIRST GRADE!!
Today in 1st grade . . .
Me: Does anyone have a guess about what it means when your eyes are bigger than your stomach?
Student: Maybe it’s when - it’s when you have so much food in your stomach that - you just - there’s so much food that your eyes (starts pulling at her eyes so they look bigger) YOUR EYES JUST POP OUT OF YOUR HEAD!
Me: *trying not to laugh* Well . . . .not quite.
Today in 5th grade . . .
Student: Well my brother - he’s, like, older than youtube even. He’s like 5 years older than youtube. He’s older than Spongebob even! He’s 18. Anyway . . .
