Conversations with students

Some conversations need no story, they speak for themselves. Ashley shares some of his most recent conversations with students.

Kindergarten –

Me: so how did you guys like the new stations today

Student: I didn’t get to do them

Me: why not?

St: I wasn’t here last week, I had mucus.

Diff St: What’s mucus?

St: when your sick

Many students all at once: of I’ve had mucus, yeah me to, what’s mucus…all talking together

 

Kindergarten again:

St:  in a couple days I am going to grandma Browns

Me: oh where’s that

St: in the mountains

M: do you go down the other side

St: in the mountains past the gas station

M: oh I know right where that is, there are some trees right?

St: yeah, I’ll be sleeping there 3 nights

Diff St: so you will miss school (obviously a smart one)

St: No

Me: maybe its over easter

St: yeah maybe

Me: students at fulton ( another elementary school in the district)  caught the easter bunny, and stuck him to a piece of cardboard, he’s on display in the hallway (students at Fulton are making Easter bunny posters and bringing them in to class as a project and when they show them to me I act all excited and proclaim amazement that they caught the easter bunny)

Many St: what?!! Really?  Is he alive?

Me: I think so, but I’m not sure if there will be any easter eggs this year.

 

2^nd grader is tying her long sleeve shirt through her belt loops around her waist…

Me: wouldn’t it be easier to put that on the steps

St: my pants are loss, I’m using it as a belt

Me: oh that’s creative, I like that, good plan

St: I’m creative, I make my teacher a bracelet out of old barrettes.

 

Creativity is still alive in 2^nd grade!  And its too cold for recess again today.
