My thoughts exactly.....

Boo Fett

Old Quotes

Here are the quotes that I have collected so far. Enjoy!


January 6, 2012:
Student 1:" I stopped drinking coffee because I heard it makes you short, and I am tired of being short."
Me: "You're short because you're a little kid. Not because you drink coffee."
Student 1: "No, I'm serious! Everyone always thinks I'm 7 years old!"
Me: "Aren't you 9?"
Student 1: "Yes, that's such a huge difference!!!!!"

(he was really upset about this, lol.)

Me: "For your journal prompt today, you are going to write about the smells, tastes sights, sounds, and feelings of winter."
Student 1: "What do you mean the taste of winter? I don't know how winter tastes."
Student 2: "She means like what snow would taste like. Oh, but don't eat the snow if it is yellow. That means it has pee in it."


December 12, 2011:
Me: "In your book report, you will draw a picture of your favorite part of the book."
Student 1: *in sad voice* "I am going to get a bad grade on this."
Me: "Why do you think that?"
Student 1: "Because every time I draw people, they end up looking like little peanuts."

(Well, I guess it's a good thing that I don't grade on how well kids can draw people, haha. Lord knows I can't draw people either, and I'm an adult!)

Most people sit on their front or back porch watching the sunrise, people, or just reading the newspaper in the morning. I sit at my desk, looking across my classroom, and I see my students learning. This is my world. These kids are my world. Seeing a light bulb click on above their heads is what I live for. I love being a teacher.

HILARIOUS conversation with my kids this morning. They asked me what year I was born so I asked them to guess. Some of my favorite responses:
1. "1967"
2. "2009"
3. Was it in the 18's, 19's or 20's?"
4. "Why are you so old?" (LOL this one cracked me up the most)

(So then we did a subtraction problem, 2011-23 years and they figured it out. I guess they just don't have any idea about time (in years) haha. Anyway. Happy Friday!)

(I guess we need to work on her math skills.)

My kids applied for student jobs this week. One job is called Classroom Organizer and that student takes out trash, vacuums the rug, squashes bugs, etc. So this one girl puts on her application that I should pick her because she will "make our classroom shine like the sun." How cute :) she got the job.

Hello!

I have been collecting quotes that my students say in the classroom. Since I have them written down in many places (slips of scrap paper, posted on my Facebook wall, written down on the Notes application in my phone) I decided that it was time to start a blog to keep all of the quotes in one place!

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed hearing them. This quote really is true, "Kids say the darndest things!"


Happy reading :)
