"Mrs Y - there's a girl stuck on the fence" should have been my clue that today was going to be an interesting day.

I know where it's at

Yep - got some points today when I told a kindergartner his batman water bottle was awesome.
 "You know who batman is??!"  
Even more points when I told him I saw the movie. 
If only every day was so easy :)

Woo hoo - back to school!

School's out for the summer! 

When the sun comes out.

At the beginning of recess I had a 6th grade girl complaining about the (too modest) school dress code and at the end of recess I had a first grader tell me he found a skirt at the far end of the playground.  Not saying the two are connected, but...

Guess who's coming to recess

I never know who will show up at recess - today a group (flock? gaggle? herd? swarm?) of Greek gods and goddesses

Peace, not war

A first grade boy and girl came to me complaining that others were saying that the two of them were "at war" and they wanted to assure me they were not (any longer).  A crowd had gathered as we were talking and I took the opportunity to talk about the value of peace vs war.  The kids left chanting "peace not war - peace not war".  I sometimes wonder what the classroom teachers think happens out on the playground.

Did she really just ask that?

Don't you just wonder sometimes what exactly goes through their head??


4th grade boy: "Mrs Y - Can I get a bag?  I just pulled my tooth out."
Girl sitting next  to him - "Was it loose?"
