Interesting compliment

In the copy room....

Another teacher: I just have one more copy to make.
Me: No worries, take your time.
Other teacher: Oh, I didn't know that was your voice. You have a cool voice!

Class Pet

On Friday, we were coming in from recess and I found one of my students already in the classroom (without permission).

Me: What are you doing in here?
Student S: Can I tell you the truth?
Me: Um, YES!
Student S: Well, I wanted to take the class fish home as my pet.

Realizing that the floor and computer table are covered with water, and in the student's hands is a ziplock bag with water in it....

Student S: It flopped out of my hands and I couldn't pick it back up.
Me: Well, it's dead now.

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.
