Silly Students

I decided to write this blog about the silly, cute, or ridiculous things my students have said or done throughout my student teaching experience. I wasn't able to record all of them, but here is a list to keep you giggling. If only you could be on a fly on the wall to see what was going on during the time. I hope you enjoy! :)

(Please keep in mind these kiddos have squeaky little voices, so everything sounds much cuter)

1. Me : "What is Constitution Day?" Student: "Wednesdays when it rains."
2. Student: "You're not allowed to have boyfriends in first grade, right, Miss Short? Me: Right! We can't have boyfriends until we are 52."
3. Student: *Hands me a picture of drawing with a dog and person* " Miss Short this for you. I know how much you like dogs, because you are always talking about them."
4. Me:  "What make you happy." Student: "Vacuums".
5. A student would call me any size references, except Miss Short. For example, Miss Small, Miss Little, etc. He finally got it right within the 4th week in….haha! 
6. Student: " Miss Short, I can read now!"
7. Student: What are you going to do this weekend Miss Short? 
   Me: What do you think teachers do on the weekends? 
   Student: Well I don't know. You don't have kids or a husband.... So you'll probably just sit on the couch and watch tv and do nothing?
   Me: Mmmmmm... Haha sure!!!
8. Student: *Student attacks me with a huge hug* " I love you Miss Short! You help me learn so much!"
9. Me: " Have you ever had a horrible day"  Student : "Never! Not even if I put stepped in a bowl of cereal!"
10. Me: "Did you learn a lot about bees?" Student: "Yes, but there is so much more to learn! I don't want to be done learning about bees!"
11. Student: "Sorry,I just couldn't hold that burp in!"
12. Student: "Miss Short, do you think you will get any presents from Santa." Me: "I'm not sure. Do you think I've been good enough?" Student : "I don't know. You give us a lot of work."
13. Student: " I want to be a teacher." Me: "Why?"  Student: " So I can eat pretzels whenever I want to." 
14. Student: "Miss Short, can I read these words to you?" Me: "Of course!" Student: "Do you think I am a good reader?" Me:" I think you are a super reader!" Student: "YES!"
15. *Random surprise hug while I'm sitting in my chair*
16. Student: " I hate kissing." Me: "Ya, it's disgusting."
17. Student: "You're leaving us?" Me: "Yes, I am going to be a teacher at another school." "Oh no! I'm going to miss you! You're going to make a great teacher."
18. Student: "All I want for Christmas is a Michael Jackson glove."
19. Teacher: " What would you do to make the Grinch grin?" Student: "Sing him Christmas carols."

21. Student: "Miss Short, can we play that fun vocabulary game you made?"
22. Student: " Don't you worry Miss Short. I will protect you! Me: " Oh ya? From what?" Student: "From all the bad guys after you." Me: "Oh, thank you for being my body guard!"
23. Student: "You must be from Texas." Me: "Why?" Student: " The way you talk, and it just seems right."
24. Student: "Why is your name Miss Short?" Other Student: "Because she's small. Duh!"
25. Me: "What are you thankful for?" Student: "Pigs!"
26. Teacher: "This is Miss Short's last week here." Student: " And where do you think you're going Miss Short?!" *Student put his hands on his hips and taps his foot*
27. Student: " You can't say no to a teacher…especially Miss Short."
28. Student: " I just want some chicken wings for Thanksgiving."
29. Student: " What is Black Friday?" Student: "The day where parents fight to get you what you want for Christmas."
30. Me: " This is how you do it" * Show student how to solve the problem* Student: "Well this awkward.

Working with over 100 kids within the 16 weeks has been a blast. I loved each of their little personalities. I am excited to begin my new journey as a 1st grade teacher!!! Students will always keep you on your toes, and you'll never know what will come out of their mouths! Teaching is by far the best career!
