Ms Annie: I brought in ice cream for a special treat! Guess what kind it is? It's vanilla with a chocolate swirl.
R [whispers]: A chocolate squirrel?!?
We have a class bear (Bailey) that the kids get turns taking home for a week and then writing in a journal and pasting in some pictures. The bear was handed off to the latest friend: "I can't wait to go home and put undies on him!" It was clear she had been plotting this for a long time.
Annie: My tummy hurts.
R: My mommy has a baby in her tummy.
Annie: I do not.
R: Well you should get one in there.
Annie: No thanks.
We talked about Insects yesterday (can you tell it was "I" week?) and we played a guessing game where I gave them clue so they could figure out what bug it was. "It has eight legs. And eight eyes. It is black. It is fuzzy and icky. It has a web." That's how many clues I had to give for spider. Then I let a student take a crack at giving me clues after several example rounds. "Cr. Crr. Crrrr. Crrrrrrr." Uhhh... cricket? "YOU GOT IT!"
"I love the Fresh Beat Band! [quietly to self] And bacon."
There is definitely one moment a day where I am doubled over in laughter from something that a kid says. That's all I have for now. Hopefully more later. :)
