It's a TEAM effort and you are all doing an amazing job!
We are going over the amazing word: medicine and one student raises his hand and says, "YOU CAN GET THAT AT WALGREENS!"
We're reading a Scholastic News article that talks about summer safety and it mentions ticks.
Student raises her hand and says, "I know ticks! They cause Lima Bean Disease!!"
Student: What's in your mouth?
Mrs. Johnson: A cinnamon mint.
Student: Ew. It smells like Christmas. I wouldn't want that in my mouth.
"Bye Mrs. Johnson." (comes back for a hug) "I love you!"
Topic of conversation: how places change
I was trying to make a connection to students' lives and I mentioned houses/apartments changing when a new baby arrives.
One child said, "Oh yeah! Just like downstairs in my house is the King's Den. Ugh, I hate it. But upstairs is the Queen's space!"
"Is it tiring being a teacher?"
"Miss Gallone, we were fighting over this at lunch and I want to know the answer. If someone says something is sour and then someone else says 'no it's not,' is that a fact or an opinion?"
We're learning new spelling words. One of the spelling words is shop. The male student picks up the word. "HEY! That's what my mom always wants to do!"
Greatest excuse I've ever heard for having a messy section of a worksheet. --> "OOPS, sorry, my eyes went into 3D when I was doing that part."
"These containers are super hard to open. They're like walnuts."
"Even when I was in preschool I had bigger muscles than my dad!"
We're working as a small group at teacher table. Students need a whiteboard, eraser, and marker. I slowly move the marker bin in front of each child and they are expected to pick a color before I make it to the next person. This prevents students from taking forever to choose or switching 5 different times. Which believe me, seems silly, but takes up a lot of time. So we're sitting down and I pull out the bucket. A child sitting in front of me sees me holding the marker bin and mumbles under his breath with a straight face, "Oh no! It's the moving bucket of doom!"
Math problem: Dan thinks that 4+1=5. Sarah thinks that 4+1=6. Who is correct? Draw a picture to show your work.
Student draws two stick figures, one with an angry face and a speech bubble that says to the other, "4+1=5!!!!!!" Then the other stick figure is replying with, "NO, IT'S NOT!"
(Not exactly what it meant by draw a picture to show your work, but certainly made me laugh!!)
"Miss Gallone, by coach, do you mean a sports coach or the train car?"
"For the facts page I wrote how the white cow makes regular milk, the black cow makes chocolate milk, and the pink cow makes strawberry milk!"
Directions: "Kevin thinks 8+2=10. Beth thinks 8+2=11. Who is right? Draw a picture to show your work."
Child takes a whole new meaning to 'draw a picture' and draws two angry stick figures with speech bubbles saying, EIGHT PLUS 2 DOES = 10................NO IT DOESN'T.............YES IT DOES!!!
