Science review
The kids have their end of the marking period science test tomorrow so we were doing a review in class using Senteo clickers. We were going over the answers....
Question: "Which of these is NOT a solution?"
The answer choices: A) hot cocoa B) Italian salad dressing
C) Maple syrup D) lemonade
Most of the kids put either Italian salad dressing (the correct answer) or maple syrup.
Me: "Will somebody share why they think the answer is maple syrup?"
Student T: "Because you can take the bacon out of it."
Me: "Bacon?? In syrup?? Have you ever been to IHOP and had bacon in the syrup?"
Student T: "Oh, guess not."
The sad thing was, that I had about 5 kids agree with her that bacon was in maple syrup....gross.

Deaf or death???
We were reading a story about Roberto Clemente and how he helped a boy that was deaf....
Me: "So what does it mean if you are deaf?"
Student K: "That you are dying."
I couldn't even say anything, I lost it with laughter for a good 5 minutes....and the class lost it with me.
In the student's defense, he thought I said "death".

Numbers In Our World
While doing an intro math lesson....
I had 5 numbers on the board that represented something about my life and the kids had to guess what those numbers meant...for example: 2,006 was the year I graduated college.
Number on the board: 1,953
Me: So what do you think this number represents?
Student: The year you were born?
Me: Wow, you think I look like I'm 57??
......Sorry kids, I'm only 25. That's the year my parents were born.
