What were YOU asked, or told, this week?

Questions I was asked, and things I was told, this week.... by little ones at school.

Kindergarten - Ryan: Madame, I drew the repellor on my airplane."

                    - Tommy:"Did you babysit us yesterday?" (THIS, I was asked on Monday.)

Grade One- Katie, when told she had to do some independent writing, cried, pouted, stated she didn't know WHAT to write about, then drew a picture, and wrote the following sentence. "I LIKE ME!" She is now ALL smiles.  I guess that is as good a start as any! :)

Grade One - I was explaining the "Four Corners" game, where upon the count of five, each child has to be standing in one of the four corners of the classroom. If they are NOT in a corner, they are eliminated from the game. I was reviewing the rules,and prompting the children to tell me what comes next, when I said, "So, what happens next when I count ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR-FIVE? One little scamp pipes up right away "TIME OUT!"  HE obviously is very familiar with being put in time-out and less with the game of "Four Corners."

Grade Two - Lunch is over and they are back in class. Susie:"Was that BIG recess?" I guess I am not the ONLY one who forgets whether she has had lunch or not. 

Grade Two - Ashley "At Hallowe'en I am going to be a DEAD Prom Queen."  What happened to witches, ghosts and goblins? 

Grade Two - "My Dad is a diamond MINDER!"

Grade Two - In a team teaching classroom of 37 children, the other teacher was explaining rules and procedures to the kids.  I was seated at the back of the group, listening and observing. With one hand held a little above her head, she tells them "MY expectations for you are up here, THIS high!"  The little fellow in front of me says quietly, "My Mom's boyfriend's are HIGHER than yours!"  Out of the mouths of babes... Comments like that make me smile, a little, but also make me WONDER, A LOT.
