It has been a while since I have done a Kindergarten Quotes post. It certainly isn't because they haven't said the most hilarious things, but because I have been a crazy woman lately!
Here's what happened the other day:
STUDENT: Mrs. Smith! Look at my tooth!
(This tooth was literally hanging there. I really though gravity would cause it to fall out...)
ME: Oh dear! I can't believe that it hasn't come out yet! You should just grab it and pull it out right now!
STUDENT: Okay!
(She proceeds to grab hold of it as I watch, grabbing a paper towel to get ready for the bloody tooth. Then she pauses...)
STUDENT (with a proud smile): Last time I lost a tooth I fainted! (giggling)
ME: KEEP IT IN! KEEP IT IN! DO NOT PULL THAT TOOTH!
Oh my word... I can't handle a fainter. I emailed her mom and she confirmed that, yes, she did indeed faint two days prior when she lost her tooth. The student thought it was funny that she fainted! Kids...

The Ball
The cutest thing happened yesterday at the playground!
As we supervised our kiddos, my supervising teacher and I were chatting by the picnic tables when I noticed two of my most rowdy students were dancing together by the slide. Not your regular dancing, mind you. They were ball room dancing. The boy was twirling the girl around and they were moving around the playground gracefully. It was a shocker to say the least and SO ADORABLE. They danced for quite and while and then like any other day in Kindergarten, the girl tackled the boy to the ground. Later, my supervising teacher asked the little girl where she learned to dance. She blushed and said that her daddy dances with her like that and she was teaching the boy how to. <3
After a little while, the little boy decided he didn't want to dance anymore and went away. So the little girl found another boy to dance with. This boy had absolutely no interest in learning to dance. He was busy pretending one of the big playground toys was a car. I watched as the little girl pulled him and tried to drag him away from it to dance and finally she said, "You can drive the coach after the ball." It took every once of my being not to laugh. That poor boy put up with her but he just didn't like dancing. :)

Pencil Trees - "Kindergarten Quotes"
I have decided to have a little section of my blog called Kindergarten Quotes... because kids really do say the darndest things!
Today we were discussing plants and the different parts of the plants. The kiddos are in groups of three and are making labeled plant posters together. One group drew a HUGE tree with little tiny roots. My supervising teacher tried to explain that the roots need to be bigger because it holds the tree up. She grabbed a pencil and said that that was her tree. She tried to stand it up on its end and of course it fell down. She did this three or four times.
She asked, "Why does my tree keep falling?"
And a student in the group replied, "Because its a pencil?"
Oh, children. I love them.
