They may be bad, but they're incredible!

Again, kids say the darndest things. I had the most incredible day today, and it is all thanks to The Rainbow Fish! I promise you, this is the MOST magical children's book EVER. Without too much behavior narration or prompting, my kids were abnormally quiet and engaged. They were able to identify the problem and solution of the book, even the low kids.

We were mandated to survey our kids about why they come to school, their teachers, etc., and let me tell you, do not ever underestimate the honesty of children! I have taken a few responses (my favorites) from some of the characters of my class and posted them below (:

"They like me because I'm funny and I look like Gary Coleman" ... if you want to know what this kid looks like, google a picture of Gary Coleman and I swear it's him (:

"I want to be a teacher a dancer and a singer. In order to do that I need to learn how to dance and how to sing" ... apparently you don't need to learn how to be a good teacher. great.

"I want to be a ninja and I have to listen to all the things my master tells me to do" ... too much karate kid?

"When I grow up I want to have a job, be smart and have a lot of money. I'm going to come to kindergarten every day, grow up, go to teenage school, go to college and go to work" ... right now all he cares about is snack, at least we know he wants to go to college!

"I'm going to be a regular worker and I'll have to have patience for customers. I'm going to go to college and live there, as long as the dorms don't have elevators." ... this kid better make it to college, he's too smart not to

"I want to be a rose princess. I need to learn how to listen to the teachers and my mom will teach me how to do that. I come to school to see (K). The kids in our class are like butterflies, they are mean and also nasty." ... as you can imagine this little girl is a joy to have in class... (:

"I want to be a princess and a cheerleader. I have to go to big kid school to learn about princesses and cheerleaders." ... of course, because that's what you go to school to learn ahaha

Happy Thursday to all!
