2012-2013 Class
Clean Up
"Are baby wipes made of babies?"
Back in Time
It was the end of the year and the children were coming to terms with our last days together. A little girl told her mom, "I wish this school year was just getting ready to start!"
First Lady
We were talking about the presidential election. We talked about the history of American presidents. We looked at the 44 presidents. I showed a picture of our current president and the first lady.
Little girl: "Who is that lady?"
Ms. Everett: "She is the president's wife and we call her the First Lady."
Little girl: "Is she the wife to all of the presidents or just that one?"
Under the Weather
Because of my scratchy voice, two little girls approached me. In unison, they said, "Ms. Everett, we are going to take you to the nurse. We will get someone else to watch us today."
Omnipresent
A little boy was working on his IXL math homework on the website. His mom heard him talking to the computer saying, "It's ten, Ms. Everett!" He thought I was on the other end, controling the computer questions!
2011-2012 Class
First Day
A mom asked her son: "How was your first day of school?"
Little boy: "Grrrreat! They let me stay all day and they even bought me lunch!"
Plus One
"I have a little brother. My mom took him out of her and now he lives at our house with us."
May I Take Your Order?
I read the lunch menu choices to the children. I told them they could choose between crispitos and chicken sandwiches. They looked very surprised and said, "Mosquitos for lunch?!"
Go Team!
I told the children we were going to a Pep Rally for our school's Boosterthon Fun Run.
Later on..."When are we going to the pepperoni?"
You Don't Say Say Say
"My dad said he taught Michael Jackson how to dance."
Boo!
It was Halloween day. I wanted the children to stay calm and learn even though it was an excitable day. I told the children that Halloween didn't start until the night time. Little girl: "You mean when the sky turns purple?"
Southern Style Pilgrims
I taught the children about the story of the first Thanksgiving. I was checking for understanding and a little boy said, "The Pilgrits almost died on the boat to America."
A Keeper
"My mommy had a baby and she still has it!"
Too Funny
Our paraprofessional, Ms. Goodwin, was telling the children something funny.
A little boy said, "Ms. Goodwin, you crack my face up."
Royalty
During a lesson about Martin Luther King, Jr., I was explaining why his name has "Jr." at the end.
Little boy: "If his father's name is Martin Luther King, is his mother's name Martin Luther Queen?"
To Do List
The day after Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, I reminded the children why we didn't come to school.
Little boy: "I didn't even have a chance to think about him the whole day!"
