Victoria's Day- September 19, 2012

For story-telling purposes, all children's names have been changed.

Morning Circle Time
7:45- While doing the calendar and weather with the Daily Reporter I hear very quiet giggling and laughing coming from behind my back. I decide to carry on with what I am doing and ignore the giggles until I hear "Oh! My penis!" Immediately I whip around to see two of my boys with one hand up their own shorts and the other hand lifting each others shorts up to have a peek. Needless to say, they were then separated so that Circle Time could continue in peace.

7:48- In response to my asking what the class would like to be when they grow up, *Jose* replies, "I want to be an engineer because I have some money saved in the bank in the Philippines. I also want a car but I need 25 more dollars. Or maybe $100 or maybe $2,000.... I do not really know."

7:55- In my response to my question asking the class which kind of animal they would be if they could change like Eric Carle's The Mixed up Chameleon, *Zoe* replies, "I would be a cheek".
Me: "A what?"
Student: "A cheek. Do you not know? A baby cheekuhn."

Parkour
9:25- While heading heading back to class after recess, *Vincent* finds a secret treasure on the stairs.  He then parkours into his classmates who were walking calmly in line, knocks me into the railing, then jumps onto his backpack so he can hide his prize before I see what he has scored. It was a rubber band.

Journal Time
10:07- "I want to be a scientists because they do aliens." -Vincent

11:04- During Quiet Journal time, I hear "DO NOT PULL DOWN MY PANTS!"

Afternoon Circle Time
12:50- While reading Stellaluna to the class, one of my boys begins peeping and chirping, while determinedly picking his nose.  He then rolls the boogers between his fingers and takes tiny nibbles from his tasty nose candy in between each baby bat and bird tweet.

Math
2:12- After about two minutes of gently having my arm stroked, the child then informs that I am so black.

2:10- *Vincent* decides to whistle at me for my attention instead of raising his hand. To bad he is missing his entire row of top teeth.
