Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss...

This week has been incredibly crazy as I was at in trainings Tuesday and Wednesday.  I was great to get back and see my students today, although they did not understand why I had to leave them to go to trainings.  I explained to them that teachers have to go to school as well.  One little girl told her mom the previous day, "Ms. Lisa had to go to training so she could teach us new fun stuff."  While at the training I heard a couple funny teaching stories, and really wanted to share one.  The trainer told this while we were talking about how children are not only trying to find an answer for us, but they are also looking for the answer that they think you want to hear.
        This takes place during a church Sunday school class...
        The teacher was introducing a book and while trying to explain the animal in the story she said, "There is a small animal with a bushy tail."
         Nobody answered
         "He as a bushy tail, and jumps through the branches of the tree."
         Nobody answered
         "He has a bushy tail, jumps through the branches of the tree, and gathers nuts."
         This time a little by raised his hand and said, "I want to say a squirrel, but I thin I better say Jesus."

Yesterday was my favorite author's birthday, and since I was not in school we celebrated it today.  We started the day with reading several books by Dr. Seuss, and then we made green eggs and ham.  Lastly, before lunch we watched The Cat in The Hat, and I don't think I have every heard anyone laugh so hard during a movie.
