Really Funny Stuff in First GradeReally funny stuff can sometimes come from what is a MAJOR PROBLEM in the classroom. And I’m talking about in ANY classroom... Can you guess what it is? It’s pencils! First Grade Funny StuffI don’t care how many pencils the students bring in OR that I loan out, somehow they disappear!Of course, no one ever admits to taking them out of the classroom, which makes me wonder… Perhaps the pencil can withstand just so much manipulation, and then it simply self-destructs! But ANY teacher will tell you that on any given day, there’s at least ONE person who can’t find a pencil. So I wasn’t the least bit surprised when Ben said, “Teacher, I lost my pencil yesterday. And I lost my 'nother one today.” “I’m sorry, Ben,” I said, “but I don’t have any more pencils myself.” Ben said, “I’ll keep looking 'cause I want to go to Recess.” Soon he disappeared into the private bathroom that’s attached to our classroom. “Oh, Teacher, Teacher!” he yelled from behind the closed bathroom door. “I was just sitting here. And GUESS WHAT!” He was so excited that everyone in the classroom stopped to hear his story. He laughed hysterically. “You not going to believe it! But I see yesterday’s pencil!”

What's Always Happening in First Grade? Really Funny Stuff!Today, I learned that even Martin who talks NONSTOP can be left speechless.He was in the private bathroom that connects to our classroom… “Listen,” I told the class. “What IS THAT?” Whenever everyone was quiet, we heard singing: “I’m gonna wash my face. Yeah! Yeah! I’m gonna wash my face ...” (Splash! Splash!) “Whew! I jist washed my face. Yeah! Yeah! I jist washed my face... Phhhhhhhhhh!" Suddenly the bathroom door opened. And everyone looked to see him… Hair was wet, slicked back. Face was polished to a high sheen. Stepping into the classroom, his demeanor was solemn, dignified. Headed to his desk now, he finally noticed us. We didn’t mean to stare - I'm sure - but he was the cutest thing! And we couldn’t keep from laughing. Martin was kind and polite to us though. He simply sat, smiled duly, and never said a single word. REMARKABLE!
Funny Bathroom HumorMy assistant took all of the girls to the girls’ bathroom down the hall. And across the hall from them, I took the boys to their bathroom…The boys were being extra loud, so I stepped to the bathroom door and said, “Boys, shhhhh… Hold it down in there!” Not skipping a beat, one of them yelled back, “I am, Teacher! But Joe Joe ain’t! He wet me ALL OVER!” The Boys' BathroomMartin ran out of the boys' bathroom..."P-U!" he shouted. "They need more than one bath freshner up in thar!" He was yelling at me, but I was surprised and trying to keep from laughing. "Teacher," he said, disappointed in me. "This ain't funny. Somebody loosed their manners up in thar!"
