Children

A lot of my posts have become stories of what I encounter each day.

For anyone who does not know,

I work with children ages 5 to 11.

I teach them how to read.

I mostly want to record some funny things that I hear children say.

Therefore, some of my posts will be just that. Like today's post.

I was testing a first grade girl. This girl, in fact, is the same girl that said "shit."

She is kind of spacey at times.

I gave her a piece of paper with some letters on it.

I pointed to one and asked her what letter it was.

She was not answering and the test is timed, so I was trying to hurry her up a little bit.

I asked her again if she knew what letter that was.

She responded, "I'm sorry. I was trying to guess, but I was looking at your nail polish."

Oh. goodness.

And then she proceeds to say all the letters in a deep, scruffy, man voice.

bahahahaha.

I have to tell her to use her normal voice.

Another story. . . 

I helped out in another first grade room.

After reading a story to the class, a boy walks up to me.

He then says, "May I hug you?... I am starting to like you."

Really? lol I had no idea this kid didn't like me. :)
