Being a teacher is amazing. Humbling. Testing. Lovely. Each day I hear the funniest, craziest, weirdest, preposterous, creative words come out of my student's mouths. They say it with such emphasis, drama, all seriousness and joking. It means something. They make statements and demand feedback on how well they are doing on the art project of the day. I am required to understand everything that pours from their ingenious souls. I love it.
In the teaching field, each educator has their own apple tree. A tree so rich with knowledge and imagination. A tree that stands tall and strong. A tree that is strung with little minds ready to be shaken. My tree always has the sweetest apples.
Here are some of my favorite things that my student's have said. Enjoy.
" Miss Thompson, when are you gonna get rid of those humungous balloons in your shirt?"
" I can't say excuse me, if I farted on purpose"
Boy student talking to girl student- " Hey suga, why don't you plop that goodness here beside me, I'm a hero".
" I saw God today. He was wearing yellow and He sang me a song"
" We can't play superhero today because my mom is washing my superhero suit"
" Miss Thompson, are those OUR snacks your eating"?
" I will help you find a man so he can help you put that black stuff on your lashes and buy you pretty pens for your ponytails"
" Your a super freak, super freak... your super....... wait... what's the rest of the song Miss Thompson"
" Why does everyone keep saying Miss Mary Mack wore black, was she going to a funeral or somethin?"
" A shark is a domestic animal because it can live in your house and sleep in your bed. They won't bite you, if you feed them and use moisturizing cream on them before bedtime"
" I have a question.. where do babies ACTUALLY come from. My mom told me but, it just doesnt seem possible."
It's like, my days are full of cupcakes.
