Kids really do say the darnedest things...

First, update on the unit...at least half of my kids got 100% or just missed one question! So super excited about that! Definitely a good feeling when so many kids do well.

So I have been learning how awesomely entertaining kids really are. They are just too dang funny, and I always find myself cracking up by something they say. A couple weeks ago, my teacher was going over a math problem that involved money. She asked for something that costs around $75. One kid was called on and said a queen size mattress set. Oh I was losing it in the back...really who would think of that?? Normally, you'd think kids would say some kind of toy or something, but nope...queen size mattress set.

Today, was just full of hilarious moments. So the morning was wonderful! One student gave me a squash he got from the pumpkin patch...super sweet! Then, a little girl came up to me while I was working on the computer and said: "Ms. Fisher, you were in my dream last night." I kind of laughed a little and asked if it was a good dream, and she smiled really big with her braces-filled teeth, said 'yes,' and then bounded back to her desk. Another super cute moment! :)

We were coming in from a restroom break or something and I heard a student say my name. He was talking with his friend and was so excited to tell them that: "Ms. Fisher's real name is Maggie...yeah it really is!" I was cracking up! Apparently, that's a big deal on the playground :)

Okay last little humorous moment of the day...a girl started talking to me in line as I was escorting them to lunch. She smiled really big and said "Ms. Fisher, I know your favorite restaurant." Now, I was fully aware that this little girl's mom was one of the room mom's and had all of our favorite's information, but I played along anyway. "Oh really," I said. "And what is it?" She grinned really big and said Panera Bread with a little giggle. She was so proud that she knew my favorite restaurant, it was absolutely adorable!

It honestly is the little things these kids say or do that make me fall more in love with teaching every day. I really need to start a journal and record all of the funny things that kids say during the day! It would definitely be entertaining :)
