This week I may or may not have laughed directly at my students...on several different occasions. Sometimes the moments come and they catch you so off guard that you can't hid it.
1. This here beauty I so skillfully captured. I still laugh at it and its been a week.
2. We have been studying American History this quarter. This last week we have focused on colonial times. Did you know that during this point in our cultural history people would "have celebrations. At these celebrations they would take tea out on boats and then put it into crates. Then at the end of the celebration they would smash the crates and throw them into the ocean." This comes after I had a group of kids read a section about the Boston Tea Party and then summarize it in their own words. Party=traditional celebration. 2 points to me for expertly teaching them synonyms, -3 points for doing the worst job ever at explaining the American Revolution.
3. One of the middle school aides walked into our class today to deliver some things I had laminated. One of my 2ND GRADE girls looks as he drops it of and goes "*Gasp* was that Trevor?" We were sitting on the floor and another girl was all "What, do you love him?" The guilty party did a little smirk and nod. Trevor was then the talk of the class for the next little while, apparently ALL of the girls 'love him'. I quickly reminded them that YOU ARE SEVEN! That and that he has a brother in first grade who is a little more age appropriate. Apparently it is okay to like a boy who is 7 years older than you but 1 year younger is unacceptable. The funniest part was that Trevor's mom was supposed to be subbing for me today. I just wish I could have seen her response.
4. "Once I was getting really angry because I was trying to use a brush to clean the ground and it just kept staying dirty. Then my sister told me, 'it's the ground'..." Probably a funny ending to this story by 2nd Graders are really good at not finishing thoughts or sentences.
