That awkward moment when you text your principal in a joking way, just to find out that it was a parent...

Melt My Heart

"I like Jesus!"

"Me too!"

"I LOVE Jesus!"

Give Directions

This conversation involved most of my students.

"How'd your parents die, Ms. Kwan?"

Well, they aren't dead yet, they're in Edmonton

"Auntie Misty lives in Edmonton!"

"And your grandma?"

"No, she lives off the highway." 

"Is it far?"

"No, you just get into your car and then you go vroom, and then turn, and then vroom, and then turn, and then you turn again, and then vroom, and you're there.  Then you turn on the driveway and park."

"Oh, okay." 

Play Bible Computer Games

One of my stations that I have is computers.  During this time, they get to play a game with features a mouse to be their guide.  At the beginning of the game, there is a little intro where the mouse skateboards down a ramp and the kids find it so funny that they laugh with their whole body - because he moves his eyebrows. 

Oh the joys of a child. 

Know My Interests

I was talking about different interests in people and giving them four examples of my interests.

"Okay, my last interest is..." 

"GOING TO EDMONTON!"

Talk About Big Grocery Stores

Two students are staying in for recess because they aren't feeling very well.  I'm sitting in my desk while they are building some sort of castle with the connecting cubes.

"We should go to Costco when we feel better!"

"Okay........  Costco? Is Costco a puppy?" 

Cry

"There are tears in my eyes because my throat hurts."

Awww...
