Morning Circle Time
7:46- Little girl interrupts me in the middle of reading a story to the class, "Teachuh! My tooth is moving! And my Mom, she says when they all come out, I will be the Sister and you will all have to call me Sister and do like this!" *bows deeply*
The Goodness of Cheese
10:10- Overheard one little girl to two other little girls, playing with play-doh, "HOLY SNAP! I make the best cheese ever!"
I Can't Even Follow This Train...
10:11- Same three little girls chattering away:
Girl #1: "Do you have a Grand-pa?"
Girl#2: "Yeah! I've got like a hundred!"
Girl#1: "I've got like zero and three!"
Girl#3: "WHAT?! You can only have two!"
Girl#2: "Well my Mom has twenty dollars, he is so rich!"
Girl#3: "WOW! She IS rich!"
Girl#2 "What a cute little circle! You're only making a big one for the cheese? It doesn't look so like the cheese..."
Girl#3: "WHAT THE HECK!!! Come on! I make the best cheese! I call it the STLAST DE LA BLAST!"
Discussing Current Events
10:20- A little boy tells me that he watched a national ceremony on T.V. with his family at home. I told him that I was in the crowds that was shown on T.V. and he said, "I look everywhere for you in the Tee-Wee (T.V.), but I not see you!"
Painting His Noodle
11:30- Collecting the Science project where the kids had to colour their favourite Grain Food, I discover Stuart has NOT painted his favourite food in the grain group, noodles, on the paper, but instead has painted "Spiderman!" on the crotch of his shorts.
Learning about Patterns in Maths
11:40- Little girl: "OH MY GOD! How could I forget this?!"
11:48- I am helping some of the students with making their own patterns, when I hear a whisper in my ear, "Make it Louder, Baby!" It is, of course, Stuart, no where near his desk, and not even a little bit doing his work.
11:55- An upset little girl: "Teachuh! All the boys say to me, 'You a boy!'"
Me: "Actually, they were asking if you like boys. But if you don't like them talking to you like that, you tell them that, okay?"
Little girl: "Okay. I AM THE LADY AND I DON'T LIKE THE BOYS TODAY, SO YOU DON'T SAY I LIKE THE BOY BECAUSE I HIT YOU FOREVER!"
Me: "...Close enough."
11:56- I inform Stuart that he cannot line up with his classmates to go to lunch because he's been dinking around instead of doing his work, and now he has to finish it before he gets to go anywhere. His horrified response to having to stay behind, "But I love you!"
Lunch Recess
12:30- A little boy has escaped his aide with his impressive skills of speed and agility and is discovered by one of the guards sitting on top of one of the teachers dirt-bikes in the motorcycle parking lot.
A Medical Emergency
12:35- A panicked little boy comes running up to me, "MS. ABI!!!! (Little girl's name) HAS BROKE HIS LEG!!!"
Me: "What?! Where is she?!"
Little boy: "OVER HERE!! IT'S SO BAD!!!!"
We go running over to find the little girl with the broken leg, and he takes me to STUART who has scratched a little scab off his leg, and is totally fine.
Discussing Tattoos
2:00- A little boy sees one of my tattoos and sniffs it, "Oh! It doesn't smell too good!"
Me: "Hahahaha well it's not a sticker! It's a tattoo! Remember, with the needle and ink?"
Little boy: "Yes! Like PEW!! PEW!! PEW!!!" As he repeatedly stabs at my arm with his fingernails, "But where is the hole?! How can they put the picture in the hole if there is no hole?!"
Young Love...
2:23- Little girl: "Teachuh, Stuart is not my boyfrien' any more."
Me: "Oh no! Why?"
Little girl: "Because he touch my hair and I DON'T play like that!"
Time to go HOME!
2:34- Stuart tells me that he will not go down the stairs to go home, unless he holds my belly button.
We make a compromise where we each hold our own belly buttons, and go down the stairs together.
