Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth...

After giving her friend some misinformation (about how to log on to a web site), I overheard one kindergartner say to her friend - "I'm sorry.  I said the truth wrong".

I guess with that way of thinking, we can always tell the truth.  Even if it's wrong.

Math

When one of my kindergarteners was clearly procrastinating doing his work by telling me "math gives me a headache", I suggested that maybe If he focused on his work he would forget about his headache.  His "really?!" could have meant one of two things:

A.  Mrs Y - you are so clever. Thanks for the advice.
B.  Mrs Y - I may be 5, but I wasn't born yesterday.

Pretty sure it was B.

Frogger

As we were stopping and starting to make our way through a soccer game in order get across the playfiled, I mentioned to my 2nd grade companion "this reminds me of a game called Frogger".  Realizing Fogger came in the early 80s, I was pleasantly surprised when her response was "I love that game!"

High Fives to Maddie's parents!

Perspective

Favorite quote of the day (overheard from a group of kindergarten girls):

"No one is perfect. Not even princesses."

These girls have it figured out.

Keep it up!

"I love science - it's gooey"

This girl has clearly been doing some AWESOME science experiments.

Aha!

I was teaching Kindergarten math today.  It was a new concept for most of them as we talked about graphs and then practiced graphing some information when I heard one little guy say "Oh! This makes sense!"  

Maybe I watched too many cartoons as a kid, but I swear I saw a light bulb go on above his head :)

Signed, SEALED, delivered

A 2nd grade girl came up to me holding one eye.  "Mrs. Y. I got poked in the eye by a seal".  Her friend quickly assured me - "it was a toy".

Phew.

Night time visitors

Looks like we had some visitors on the play field last night - lots of very big foot paw prints all over the field this morning. Fun listening to the kids speculate about what happened and who was there!
