Alaska
In our reading small groups....
Me: "Based on what we just read in our books, what happened in Alaska in 1959?"
Student: "Were you alive back then?"
Me: "Really? You think I'm that old? We need to work on your math skills!"

Another student: "SHHH! You aren't supposed to tell an adult that!"

Thanksgiving
While brainstorming for our web on Thanksgiving....
Me: "One thing that always happens during Thanksgiving are some great TV specials. Who can tell me what shows I can put on my web, that have to do with Thanksgiving TV specials?"
Student Q: "Spongebob squarepants!"
Me: "Well, that may be true, but let's try to think of a show that I might watch."
Student D: "BET!" (also known as black entertainment tv)

Tenders
Today our school was going to close early due to flooding in the area and I had only 9 students come to school. So another class and my class combined so we could watch a move - Muppets From Space.
(right after Miss Piggie hit a human in the privates)
Student: "Ooohh, he just got hit in the tenders!"

Yeast Infection
In science we're learning about the 5 kingdoms....
Teacher: "Mushrooms, mold, and yeast are part of the fungi kingdom. We all know what mushrooms and mold are, but does anybody know what yeast is?"
Student G: "Is it the same thing as a yeast infection?"

Writing Prompt
In fifth grade, we prepare our students for a writing test at the end of the year. One of the prompts we gave was to: Write about something you enjoy. Here's what one of my students wrote about....
I enjoy having crushs. Because I think it's cool that your in love with someone. But yet your to scared to tell anyone else. There for you will never know, if she loves you back. I'm kind of going through that now. You see theres a girl in my class. Her name is D______. I'm so scared that I won't even tell my own father. That's the tricky part about love, it's so strong it kills you inside.
