Well it has been over a year since I kept up with this blog. It was a busy school year with my move to Atlanta, learning a new school, curriculum, etc but I have loved every minute! My parents bought me a book for Christmas called One Line a Day that I thought I would use to write down those funny lines my first graders say. Perhaps I'll make it into a book one day.
So here are my favorite from this year's "funny firsties" ......ENJOY! (=
1. student: "We went to Washington for winter break, but we got pulled over because we didn't know where we were going because the gps was broke and we got to close to the White House apparently. Don't worry that cop let us go though!"
2. student: "....and this is a picture of me at the University of VA. That's where I'm going to college, and my daddy is paying FOR IT!"
3. student in another class that joined my class because his teacher's sub didn't show:
me: "Where is your teacher today?
Student: "She had adult stuff to do!"
4. student: "Was Arthur Luther King in a war?" (he meant Martin Luther King)
5. student: "Did Abraham Lincoln really like ham or something? That's just a crazy name!"
6. me: "What is a newspaper advertisement?"
student: " Something my Grandpa reads. You can also read it when you are bored. "
7. student: "Substitute teachers and bus drivers are strict. They always say if you act bad we won't go outside. Some teachers say that too, but they always let you go outside anyway. I think it's just because they want you to be good. "
8. me:" You girls must be ready to go inside since you're not playing anymore."
student:" I AM! I have to poop SO BAD I feel like if I stay out here I might just go RIGHT HERE!"
9. while teaching about past vs. present in social studies;
me: "I didn't have ipods and iphones when I was little,instead we had cd players (and I showed them a picture of one).
student: "Miss Kenimer, How did YOU survive?!?
10. me: "My dad sells insurance. "
student:" WOW! He must get a lot of money when people crash into each other. "
11. student: " Miss Kenimer, you know my favorite thing about you is that you always make learning fun!"
okay so that one was not funny but it was super sweet! (=
12. student: " Miss Kenimer, is it bring your mom's favorite wine to school day?"
13. After doing the Thriller Just Dance song on youtube
student: "No way is this the real Michael Jackson because he wasn't even alive when the wii was invented. He also died on the toilet from too many drugs. "
14. student:" I pulled my own tooth out......while I was sitting on the toilet."
me: "That's interesting why didn't you pull it after you used the restroom?"
student:"Well because I had to sit there awhile and I got bored so I just pulled my tooth out!"
15. student: "Miss Kenimer, do you get cranky without coffee? One time on a holiday we had to fast and my mom couldn't have her coffee and she was cranky....and I mean cranky like ARRGHH!"
16. student: "My hair is growing I know because my side burns are getting big. "
17. me as a student returns from the restroom reading one of my classroom books: "Did you just take my book to the bathroom with you?!"
student: "Well yes because I knew I was going to be in there awhile and I wanted to read it. "
There were many more but these were my favorites from the year (=
