Funny Memories

You have to have a GREAT sense of humor for this job!

Just some funny stuff that has happened:
-Most Fridays, we have "Author's Chair." Students read aloud some piece they have spent the week writing. (Mine you that my kids CANNOT write) They stand up to read and not too long into it they look over at me and ask "What does that say?" or "Does that say ____?" I just think its HILARIOUS...they can't read their own writing! I just shrug my shoulders and say "You wrote it." (meanwhile laughing inside) If only they knew what I went threw when grading their papers.

One little girl in my class got a new hairdo the other week. (Note: We are currently reading Charlotte's Web, which is probably why this entered my head.) I looked at her during a lesson and she reminded me of something but I just couldn't think what of.....finally it came to me: The ram in Charlotte's Web that has horns that curl back behind his head....THAT RAM is what this girl looked like with her new hairdo!!!! CRACKS ME UP EACH TIME I LOOK AT HER!!

One little boy in my class comes to school every few days with some type of bandage on him. Usually he says this injury is from football...and every injury is something he has broken! Of course, he has NOT broken ANYTHING and doesn't even had a scratch on him. His wrist has been wrapped in cloth, he's had bandages on his arm, he has claimed he broke his ankle....
This past Friday he came to school with 2 small bandaids UNDER EACH EYE! I thought: OH MY WORD! I've finally got to the point I just laugh at him (not where he can see, of course)...of course these bandaids were also from football....I made him take them off bc there were no scratches or anything under his eye.

The following are samples of children's writings:

I received this note from a boy on Friday: Vilints are red, vilints are blue, I love you to.

They had to write about a good friend: Jacob is my friend because "he envitid me to his perde."

These kids are the nosiest people in the world....they know what everyone else is doing and is suppose to be doing except for one person....THEMSELVES!

The 12 dollars I have spent on this classroom were 4 chalkboard adhesive squares. I put them on the side of the cubbies and the kids go there to write tattletale problems...I LOVE IT!! They can't spell so its hilarious to figure out what they wrote....i don't have to listen to them....they write so much during the day that the erase each other's stuff....when they complain about someone writing something about them or erasing what they wrote, I just say "Go write it on the board!" HAHAHAHA!!!
