Funny Stufffrom The Diary of a First Grade TeacherFunny stuff happens daily in the first grade classroom whenever you have smart and creative thinkers - like I do!My students are pure of heart so everything they say is said with 100% sincerity and innocence ...
What's That Mean?I was in the middle of explaining that osteoporosis is the loss of bone thickness whenever Amy interrupted. “What’s THAT mean?" “That’s easy,” Loegan blurted. “That's what a old woman humps over for!” Did You Hear Me?I told my assistant and the class to be sure to listen to the announcements because I’d be speaking to them and to others in the school on the intercom this morning.So, later - after I made the announcements - I dashed back to the classroom and eagerly asked, “How'd I do? Did you hear me?!” “Awwww, but it’s too late!” Joe Joe gravely announced. “You JUST missed it!” Idioms for KidsIdioms may be expressions that you and I, as adults, know and understand, but many first graders are at the age where they take words literally.If you say, "It's raining cats and dogs," some of them may think it's literally raining cats and dogs! For example, today, I had just read a story about a horse to the first graders. And since everyone knows that idioms for kids can be a lot of fun, I asked the kids to finish the following famous line ... "You can lead a horse to water, but ... " Gena said, “But don’t push him in!” Loegan said, “And don’t let him JUMP in!” Weesie shook her head. “You can’t weed a kanga-WOO.” Martin, who's as country as they come, said, "Take him on down thar ... But you better MAKE SURE he ain’t no bull!” Now, aren't my kiddos creative and cute? Most of all, they're so smart and pure of heart. Yep, I love every one of them and A.L.L. their funny stuff!
