Mistake Reflection

Students had to write about a time they made a mistake and the lesson they learned from it....

First sentence of the student reflection: A time I had made a mistake is when I was at camp and I called this girl's sister a ugly migit.

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".
