Classic Rewind

I finally opened up my plan book from last year to remind myself of what to do this year. I say finally because I've been looking at it for the past two months determined to get ahead of the beginning of the year.
Anyway, in it I found some classic lines from the end of last year that I seemed to have forgotten about (how easy that was with summer vacation). So for your enjoyment:

While we were studying about U.S. symbols, they had to do a sort. The kids had to decide if the picture was a U.S. symbol or not and one of the pictures was of a pear:

C: "A pear is not a U.S. symbol, but it could be one for Paris!"

There/their/they're...it's all the same.


Overheard while they were playing with Legos:

S: "I wouldn't want to live in China because then all you eat would be China noodles."
J: "I can't wait to live in China if I get to eat China noodles all the time."

Chickity China the Chinese Chicken... (I honestly had to look that up, because I had NO idea it was Chickty China)


Annnnd Happy Belated Father's Day! Hopefully not to any of my friends. Here are the best responses from our Father's Day books, luckily I have met all of these men and can say they are probably true:

My Dad Likes..."something kids cannot drink"

I Like..."his beautiful girlfriends"

(Freewrite on the cover of the book): You're the best daddy I ever had

Back-to-School

I have to say that the only good thing about back to school is the shopping. Maybe it's because I'm a teacher, but I love the new crayon boxes and the fresh notebooks with the promise of fun things to come. Oh, and the clothes; I mean how can you say no to new fall clothes?

So, to make the back to school time a little easier on all of us teachers. I found some funny things that kids have written. Let's hope that next school year is full of funny spelling mistakes and brutally honest kids who know their parents all too well.

Enjoy!
