Facts

So in the last month, I've realized that there are a few facts about my Kindergartners...

Fact #1--- Blowing a whistle is like music to their ears...Who me, they Say? The whistle does not imply being quiet or lining up.
Fact #2-- -When a kid is hurt, take them to the drinking fountain. It does wonders in calming the child down.
Fact #3---An untie shoe is better than tied. But the shoe relay race is amazingly fun.
Fact#4--Asking a child if they have their lunch card is like asking the wind.
Fact#5---Don't try and show a kids up in sit-ups, when you yourself haven't done one in 10 years.
Fact#6---Dodge ball is the best game ever, and I am the coolest teacher for it.
Fact#7---Dandelions will live forever.
Fact#8---If you are sick, then you must drink lots of water...not nap. Water is better for you.
Fact#9---Mixing milk cards in with the lunch cards is a great trick to make Miss Childs' ''go crazy. Ok, so maybe I threw a little tantrum about it, and the kids thought it was funny.
Fact#10---The Phrase "blow a bubble in your mouth" will keep 60 kids quiet walking down the hall to music and art.
Fact#11---10-count jumping jacks Rock!!!
Fact#12---Kickball is a blast, when Miss Childs' is at the top of the bleachers trying not to fall and catch the ball.

Laughable Moments

So every once in awhile, my job still allows me to hear funny moments.
A 4th grader was trying to tell another student the answer and we told her don't tell the her the answer to the problem.
Her response to this was " Well, you can't just leave the answer in the middle of the road. It's not meant to just be left there. When someone gives you an answer, you are supposed to use it and share it with others."
Interesting take on it, but I guess that was her imagination on what to do with an answer. So if someone gives you an answer, don't just hold it in, share it with someone. Apparently, it's knowledge to share.
