Well, I am a second grade teacher now. Didn't think I would step back into this field, but I did. I keep a journal about things that make me laugh, grin, or giggle by these precious little ones. They cannot keep secrets, they tell it like it is, and anything can pop out of their mouths. Today, I am sharing a few of the priceless moments that have occurred.
We were studying 'bones'. I was explaining that bones are alive and one reason we can prove this is because they reproduce themselves about every five years. One of my students could not contain the revelation of this and belted out "I have been replaced!!" I giggled for the rest of the day....
Two of my young gentlemen were walking on the sidewalk between the buildings. The conversation went something like this....
"So why do we like 'him'? asked one student. "Duh, because of his hair!!" stated the second student. (Remember, these are second graders. Maybe hair is a qualification for friendship...lol)
Coming in from recess, one of my gentlemen stated to the young ladies in from of him that he knew 'quite a few girls who want to marry him'.... He just needs to grow a little more :)
And the last one I will share today was about our President. We were discussing where he lives. One gentlemen spoke up and said, "Obama lives in the White House." A second student, not quite paying attention stated back, "Bombs don't live in houses!" Lesson learned, pay closer attention to the conversation at hand.
I hope at least one of these brought a smile to your day.... Stay tuned for more to come......
