Things Kids Said on a Wednesday

The kids were wild today. Just crazy. And it wasn't just in my room either. I don't know if there's a full moon, the pressure is changing, or if Memorial Day weekend is catching up with them, but they were nuts. Today was the type of day were I drove home with the radio so quiet I could barely hear it.

I probably should have recorded the entire day, because they were goofy all day long. Here are some snippets into my crazy day:


- "I'm Green Lantern! I can do this if I want!" (super wiggly little guy trying to convince me it was okay to lay on friends lap during calendar time) "You're Green Lantern? Woah! Did you know Green Lantern always listens to his teacher? You need to sit up." It worked :)


- One of my calm, easy going kids was super crabby today. She tried to take over the 'light helper' job and when I told her it was another kid's turn she said (in her sassiest voice) "I. Don't. Care."


- "I'm gonna chop your fingers off!" -I have no context for this, the kid she was talking to laughed, and there were no tears.


- One of my kids brought in a book for me to read- they do this often- but this book had a bunch of Spanish in it. I don't speak Spanish and I definitely don't read Spanish. Two of my kids who speak Spanish were correcting me and giggling the whole time. It was awesome.


- One of my girls was singing "Teach me how to dougie" and I joined in with "teach, me teach me how to dougie" She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Ms. McElwee, really? How do you know that song?"


-One kid asked to go to the bathroom but instead went to go visit the dean. She told him that she had bacon for lunch and didn't bring him any.


- One kid spent our entire choice time (30 min) following me around telling me about minecraft. I now know more about the part where you can go into a tornado to get to Oz than I ever thought I would :)


-I brought a bag filled with ingredients for smores- we're learning about camping. I had them guess what snack was in the bag. Best guesses: Beef! Takis! A campfire!



Guess what- I'm Irish dancing in my school's talent show on Friday. I should probably figure out exactly what I'm going to do :)
