From The Mouths of Babes...

 This week is spring break, and so far I have not gotten much relaxing done between school work, and the electric being out for 14 hours causing me to clean and work on lesson plans.  Oh well, why complain when it could be worse.  However, since I'm not at school I didn't have much to write about so I thought I would share some of the quotes from past students that made me want to start this blog in the first place.  The thing I love about teaching is that just about everyday I my students make me laugh.  Here are some examples...

My first year teaching I had a girl in my class who had two older brothers.  Her brother enjoyed playing guitar hero, and she would often sit in the room and watch.  This led to her constantly singing Guitar hero songs in the classroom, and her favorite was Eye of the Tiger.  One day she was singing the song, and right in the middle she stopped and said, "Ms. Lisa, do you know why the song is called I Owe the Tiger?" I said, "well I think that it is called Eye of the Tiger."  To this she replied, "No, it is called I Owe the Tiger because someone owes the tiger money." all I could say was, "No, I did not know that."

Last year I had a students that after seeing a picture of my husband on my cell phone she decided she was in love with him.  She told me, "Ms. Lisa I am going to get married to you husband." I told her, "But he is already married to me." She then looked at me like she was going to cry and said, "But I love him!" 

It is things like this that make the noise, arguing, and tying shoes all day seem like not such a big deal.

One last thing I wanted to post is a video that is pretty old so I am sure a lot of people have seen it, however, it makes me laugh every time.  If you are having a bad day it will turn right around when you hear this little boy, and watch the facial expression that go along with it.  click here to watch    

Sorry I didn't have much to say, but I am going to get back to enjoying my spring break.  Next week we will be talking about bugs so I am sure there will be some interesting things to share...
