I wanted to jot down a couple of the funny things my students have said in the past week before I forget them during this wonderful time of the year that is known as summertime! The first occurred during some group work time. They had been writing a story and then making it into a book with illustrations, etc. In one group there was a boy standing there not helping at all. One of the girls in his group said to him, "No one is paying you to stand there and look pretty." I busted out laughing when I heard her say that. I asked her if her mother said that to her and she said no, she had heard it on T.V. The other happened at the very beginning of school. I had morning duty this week, so I wasn't in my classroom the first 15 minutes when students are allowed to come in and and start working. Apparently two of my students decided to start "play wrestling" just for fun. So, another of my students ran into the next door teacher's room and said, "Come quick! There's a commotion in our room." That may not sound funny at first. But think about it . . . how often do you use the word "commotion"? Then, on top of that, think about how often you have heard a 10-year-old use that word to describe the above situation. I loved that it was a "commotion"!
P.S. Yes, I was very upset with the two boys causing the commotion. And, yes, they had some severe consequences!
