Kindergarten = LAUGHTER: Part Two

Here we are again. Another school year has begun and I never had time to finish my end of the year blog.  So here are the last few gems from the wees ones.

In Kindergarten, we meet-up on the carpet, to share whatever.  One little fellow tells us that his mother has a plan to get more money.  I, of course, ask him how is she going to do that? That was probably not the question to ask, because he replied, "By taking the garbage into the forest!"  I decided we should quit while we were ahead, and I moved on to another little one.

The art teacher brought back my class, and as they filed past me, I saw, to my surprise, two little girls with BIG moustaches painted on their faces. The art teacher informs me that they were put on by the little ones themselves, during class, with markers. I guess Andrea and Ava did not see the look of "WTH'" on my face, because one piped up, quite proudly, "Yes, and we used the permanent markers ones too! " To which the other added, "And they are the SMELLY ones!" Thankfully, they both returned to class the next day with no evidence of their crime on their faces. LOL

The children were cutting and pasting a sentence onto a worksheet, and then printing the sentence below. ie. The sun is outside the window. I reminded them of the importance of the capital letter at the beginning and the period at the end. More often than not, I sent them back to add the period as they tended to ignore that part of the lesson. I had sent one little blond fellow back twice! The third time he came running up to me, waving his paper above his head, and declares excitedly, "Madame, I got my PERIOD!" 

I had to stifle a huge guffaw... OMG. At recess as I was sharing with my EA what had transpired, and JUST as I said, "I got my period!", the principal shows up in the doorway.  He immediately puts his hands up on each side of the door frame and says, "I don't need to be part of this conversation, do I? THAT is when I allowed myself a really good laugh.

I close with a cute remark from a Grade Five student, as they were entering school on the second last day, during what would be the hottest day of the year.  

WE DON'T WANT TO BE TEACHED TODAY!
