Make sure you eat your happy food first!

A: "I'm big!"
Me: "I know! It's because you eat healthy food, huh?"
A: "Yeah."
V: "I eat happy food!"

Distracted By Her Ear Gunk

Yesterday, when I was helping this girl write a final draft of a little paragraph about her "wild thing," she stopped writing and stared at the paper. I assumed she had lost track of where she was in her sentence, so I started reading the next few words. Here is her response:

"I know. I just had gunk in my ears."

Oh...great. I...hope you got it out?

One Girl Thinks I'm Five

Samantha: "I'm four."
Me: "I know!"
Samantha: "Are you five?"

The Cake!

The kids (especially the girls) like making "cakes" out of the woodchips on the playground. I love how when I play along, they smile knowingly and continue playing their cake-making roles. For example, when I point to the ground and say something like, "Wow! This cake is HUGE!" instead of saying, "What cake? We're just pretending!" (like they actually do say about some things) they smile and say, "I know!" or something.

Anyway, today I overheard J. saying, "Hurry! We have to decoration the cake!"

Cute.

Kids and Body Parts

Today I played a game with the preschoolers that involved putting colored Goldfish (those little cheesy crackers I don't like) on circles on a monster's body. When Alex received two Goldfish on the chest circles, he exclaimed, "Look! Boobies!"

::sigh:: Already such a guy. :P

That's Nice, D.

Today I read a book to the whole class (minus the three that were absent, leaving me with only 11) for the first time.

I started reading The Little Green Witch, which is pretty much a Halloween version of The Little Red Hen (you know...the one in which the animals don't want to help the hen do chores and bake the bread...but then when the pie is done, they all want to eat it?), and then D. interrupted and said the following (or something like this):

"Mrs. ____, my socks are shiny."

Umm... That's nice. haha!


*Note: I'm not married; they just find it easier to call me "Mrs."

I Heart Eduardo

Listening to Eduardo Verastegui's "Viva La Locura" at the moment. I like "Tequila" too.

He sings (songs here), acts (he's in Chasing Papi, Bella, etc.), produces movies, etc. He was in one of JLo's music videos ("Ain't it Funny") too.

Too bad he can't be my Spanish tutor. :P
