Everybody Likes Chicken
I was telling the students that I went out to dinner with Ms. Abi for her birthday. When I told them that we went to her favorite restaurant Jose shouts out, "I bet it was KFC!". To which I reply, "No it was not." He responded with a very confused, "Oh..."
I Hope Not
Vincent is proudly showing off his new electric pencil. He is demonstrating how to click the side so the lead will extend and how to twist the top for the eraser. He is shouting across the room, "I have this! An eraser and it comes out my butt!"
When She Is 18
Zoe found the new tattoo that I had done over this past weekend and had a whole lot to say about body art, clothes and over all appearance. "OOOOOO! I want that but my dad does not want me to have that. I want a star. He wants me to be beautiful girl when I big. I want a star but he says 'NO'. He say that he love me and does not want me to wear that dress. When I want to wear that dress he say 'NO'. He want me to be white and I not white. I say to him that I not go to school because at school there is a lot of sun. If I in the sun I get brown. He say that I got to school because I got to be a rich girl. So I go to school anyway and get brown"
Power Outage
Jose: "My brain is charging when the lights are on. So when the lights are out I cannot do any work."
Teacher: "If your brain is charging when the lights are on, it will be at full power when the lights go out. It is also the middle of the day and we have windows all around the classroom that allow sunlight "
Jose: "Oh... yeah..."
Teacher: "Nice try."
Extras
Sometimes being a teacher requires the occasional spontaneous discussion on life and death. I had to have a brief chat with Vincent after he made the following comment during morning circle time.
"My uncle died OK. Do not worry because I have many others. Many, many a lot of other uncles! So no problem, OK?!"
