Discussing /I/ words.

Thinking Outside the Box

Little girl: "Temples!"

There's Ill, and Then There's Ill

10:05- Me: "Who can tell me what the word "ill" means?"

Little girl: "When you puke, and puke, and puke, and PUKE, that's how you're ill!"  

Damn You Christmas Coca-Cola Commercials

10:07- I hold up a picture of an Igloo and ask them what it is.  

The whole class: "AN EEEGLOO! THE POLAR BEARS LIVE IN THERE!"

Me: "That's a good guess, but polar bears like to live outside instead.  It's an ice house for people!"

Distraught little girl: "Well a DOG can still fit inside, right?  Or like a baby polar bear?"

10:09- Me: "Does anyone know what the word "imp" means?"

Little girl: "A mean goat!"

10:11- Me: "How about the word "icky"?  Can you give me an example of something icky?"

Little girl: "Boogers!"

Little girl: "Dirty toilet paper!"

Little boy: "POO POO!"

Me: "NEVER MIND! I shouldn't have asked!"

11:08- During Calendar Time, a little boy raises his hand to share, "Ms. Abi, my Mum said soon it's the end of the world.  When we finish this calendar, we will all be die because we are destroyed!"

Chatting in After-School Activities

2:35- Little boy: "My Dad is the boss!  My Mom is not the boss, but she is the owner!"

Me: "Owner of what?"

Little boy: "Of the Blug!"

Me: "What is a "Blug"?"

Little boy: "She wrote the INTERNET!" 

Hours VS. Owls

2:57- Little boy has NOT stopped chatting and all the other girls are getting fed up with constant his noise.

Little boy: "... and one time my Mom painted an ACTUAL TRAIN TRACKS and THEN a train coming down it! And THEN..."

Girl: "NO *Little boy's name*! We can't hear any more about your Mom because we all want to die already!  There can never be more stories about your Mom!"

Little girl: "Yeah! No more talking for a hundred hours!"

Little boy: "...But I don't have ANY owls!"  

Almost Escaped

3:35- Walking my bike out towards the gates to go home, one of my little girls comes screaming at me, "MS. ABI!! MS. ABI!! WAAAAAAIT!!" I stop, she runs up to me, pinches me on the bottom, and dashes off before I even know what happened.

Stuart: "Spider inside belly eats food!  I am SPIDERMAN!"
