More Stories From My Crazy Kids

Oh, kindergarteners how adorable they can be....

Last week we were talking about friends and some activities we like to do. I let them pair up and share their ideas and then we'd share as a group. When we shared as a group, Beth, my quiet, slightly speech impaired friend, says "likes to play with dolls". "Oh," I said, "who likes to play with dolls?" She turns around and points at someone completely unexpected - my little boy who is ALL boy. Again, without even thinking, I busted out laughing! I couldn't help myself. That was NOT who I was expecting her to point to! All the while he's saying: Nuh uh. I didn't say that! After I composed myself I had to explain to the two of them that I wasn't laughing at them that I was just surprised and they were okay with my outburst!!

This week, we've had snacks all week which is unusual b/c I can't afford snacks for 20 kids every day so parents provide them. This week was those "Cheeze It Sticks" They're pretty good but individually tiny. I'm making my rounds and get to the last table and give each of them one little stick and walk away. Here were there responses:
HEY!!!!!!!
Uh, only ONE?!!!
Mrs. Whitlow!!!!
And my favorite: one look of absolute disbelief by the quietest kid in the whole class. - Priceless!

I love my kids. They're the best! Oh, by the way, they got two compliments in a row today for doing a great job in the hallway! (It's a big deal!)
