Our Nation’s Capital

This week is Constitution Week!  As I was talking to the kindergartners about the Constitution, we were discussing the Capitol and the President.  I asked if anyone knew where these were and one of my boys raised his hand (yay!) and said, “George Washington, D.C.!”

Hurricanes

We were practicing our storm drill this week, and my kids asked why we might need to go in the electric closet (our shelter spot).  For some reason, the first thing that came to my mind was a hurricane.  One of kids asked what a hurricane was, and another replied, “it’s like a tomato…only it could kill you!” 

Watch out for those killer tomatoes.

A New Year

Well, it’s a new group of kindergartners…and they have definitely worn me out!  They are a good group, though, and will hopefully give me some good material for this blog :)

So…here we go!  I was giving directions in class, and asked everyone to take out their scissors.  The only response was, “Whatever you say, Jack!”

Huh?

 

Scenario #2 – Walking down the hallway

I encounter a former student of mine who is now a sobbing 3rd grade boy in the hallway.  When I asked what was wrong, he replied through his tears, “I (sob) got a (sob) choice card.” Me: “Oh, that’s too bad…what happened?”  Student: “I was (sob) too funny!”

Oh, really?  I didn’t know that was a punishable offense these days at Lincoln Academy.

 

I hope to have some new stories for you on a regular basis this year!
