What's Your Favorite Nut

It's that time of the week again when Ms. Jessica over at A Turn to Learn hosts her weekly linky party of things our students say.  Please come and share!  

We were making a graph about our favorite type of nut.  As I was listing their favorites, one student told me his favorite was a banana nut.  I'm thinking to myself that he probably was confused about what I was asking him.  After a bit of discussion, he almost had me convinced that there was such a thing as a banana nut.  I finally realized (with the guidance of some of my other students) that his favorite nut was a cashew!  Of course, a cashew... don't we all think of a banana when we see a cashew!!!  

Today I was handing out a paper to my students and I said "here is your hundreds fart."  I realized immediately what I said...and was hoping they weren't  listening (which had been the case all day!) ...but nope...I think everyone of them heard it... They laughed like it was the funniest thing ever... which of course made me laugh.  One of my students then said "I love it when you laugh!"  Hmmm...maybe I need to laugh with them more??

Okay, it's your turn.... Come and link up and share by clicking the picture below. 

Funnies from Firsties

Don't you just love it when your student's make you laugh?  Here are just a few precious moments...

I asked my students if they knew why we didn't come to school on Monday (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day)... One of my sweeties raised her hand without any hesitation and said that was easy.  It was all because of the Father/Daughter Dance (which was Saturday)... they would be way to tired to come to school on Monday.

After reading a book about teeth, I asked my students if they had ever had a cavity.  One little girl raised her hand and told me she had one and it smelled just like a BBQ.  hmmm.... 

A few weeks ago I was checking to see what books one of my students had at her desk.  When she came back, she immediately noticed that they were gone. I told her that I needed to look at them for a few minutes.  She said "Soon, you are going to be a smartie like me and  know everything I know."

This came from a student I retained last year.  "I love your class and I want to always stay in here.  Pretty soon, Ill be driving myself here."  

Two of my little girls had a disagreement and it was creating problems on the playground.  I asked them later if everything was okay between them.  One of them said "Yes, we made out."  Her face got red and immediately said ... "I mean we made up!!!"

I didn't realize that A Turn to Learn hosts a weekly linky party for cute things our kiddos say.  Click on the button below find out all about it and to share one of your funnies!

Wee Wee Weeeeeeeee

Friday we celebrated our 100th day of school.    Unfortunately I do not have pictures to share, but I have a short funny.  The kiddos made necklaces from fruit loops.  The ends were taped to their desks to prevent a big mess.  All of a sudden I heard one of my boys say "Look! It's a zip line!"  Seconds later, there was an outbreak of  "wee wee weeeeeeeeee!"   I laughed so hard I thought I was going to wet my pants!

Now on to my foot drama that started last Sunday evening.   I decided that the pain in my foot was not getting any better.  So...after church, my husband took me to Urgent Care.   I walked wobbled to the x-ray machine and had to put my foot in positions that only made me want to scream.  I returned to my room, only to be asked to go back again, because the machine wasn't working properly.  Are you kidding me.  But I just smiled and said SURE!!!

Anyways, an hour later the doctor came in with news I was not expecting.  It is broken!  What!  What!  Apparently it is a bad break.  Instead of  a break across the bone, its is lengthwise & is he called it a spiral break and it takes forever to heal those kind of breaks.  There was nothing that they could do for me so they were making an appointment for me with an orthopedic specialist.

Things started going blurry for me after that...  Everything started spinning, I broke out in a sweat, I knew that I was going to faint if I didn't lie down and I felt like I was only moments away from puking.  I grabbed the clipboard the doctor had with all my information on it, the doctor grabbed the trash can  and put it within easy reach.  My husband was absolutely no help!  He started laughing, but I don't really know what he said to the doctor.   But the doctor turned and left...never to be heard from again.  

I was given a $20 open-toed shoe to wear, a prescription for a walker, and told to put absolutely NO pressure on my foot.   Now, I'll wait by my phone to get the call for my appointment.

And as if that is not enough bad news for me ... I am so so so sad!!  My awesome teaching partner and I had made exciting plans to spend the entire day Friday with Diane & Kelly over at Made for 1st Grade!!!!  What an opportunity to spend the day with them!!!! Darn the luck!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can all reschedule.  If you haven't checked their blog out you need to do so!
