Stuff My Students Say...

Student teaching has been an awesome experience. I love my fifth graders and they say and do some funny stuff. So I am going to share the joy with you lovely people. I hope this warms your heart as much as it did mine :)

Mrs. Allyn was asking for students to help with bathroom breaks for the kindergarten classroom , one student 'O' was out of the room and came in after the explanation was finished and she saw many students with their hands raised. This is what I witnessed from the back of the room:
O: walks in and sees students with hands up. Raises her hand. Mrs. A says her name, O asks the students next to her what is going on. Student does not reply. Then Mrs. A draws her name from the bucket. O then fist pumps, says "yesssss" very excitedly and then..... ask the student next to her' "What is going on? Why did she call my name?"

D: "She has a gold wedding ring!!?, so she is rich then?"

F: "You need diamonds to get married"
Mrs. A: I'd rather have a husband who loves me than my ring."
F: pause....... "I'd rather have the diamond."

Me: "What is a country? Name me one."
G: "Alabama?"

C: "Ms. G, can I have a hug?"
Me: "Of course you can C___!"
C: "Ms. G sounds like Alanis Morrisette!"

Mrs. A: "He is a really neat guy"
S: "Uhh, but Mrs. Allyn, you're MARRIED!"
