So I told myself I’d keep a record of the funny things kids say in class. I’ll give you two of them right now.
1. I was using a puppet, Julie (don’t forget it’s all in French), to introduce how to write your age to the class. After Julie spoke about how old she was, Thomas raised his hand. He looked at me and Julie, and he said “does Julie have health insurance?”.
2. Last week, we were talking about homework at the end of the day. I explained how they would use numbers to figure out the answers. I asked for questions, and Promise raised her hand. She said “that’s why we don’t play soccer near the bee hives.”
Maybe I’ll give intermittent updates to the crazy, spontaneous comments that my kids send my way…
The health insurance thing made me go LOL!
Yes, the health insurance comment was hilarious. The other one….hmmmm. What was she thinking? I have a couple to add, as one of Andrea’s fellow teachers at French Immersion.
1. Andrea, you were there for this one. A kindergarten boy arrived in the office at 9:30 am. He was accidently picked up by his old bus driver from his old school. When they figured out that he’d been taken to the wrong school, they took him to French Immersion. The kid thought that it was pretty cool that he got to see his old bus driver. He wasn’t scared at all. He immediately asked, “Did I miss recess?” That was his only concern. Maybe you had to be there to find it funny.
2. The kids were sitting crossed legged on the carpet in front of me. I was demonstrating a little game in French….kind of like 1 touch your nose, 2 turn around like a tornado, 3 jump up really high. For number 6, I crouched down in a ball and touched the ground. I was wearing a dress. Three little boys in the front row all put their heads on the carpet to try to look up my dress. They did it all at the same time. I wish that I had it on video! I stood up immediately and continued teaching.
3. During parent-teacher conferences, a boy asked me “When’s the concert?”
Maybe I’ll make my own blog, Andrea!
