Funny Moments of a Teacher

Kids say the funniest things and DO the funniest things. One from yesterday... I was the concerned parent in this situation. Ally's teachers were telling me about a bathroom incident where the teacher had just taken all the kids to the bathroom but Ally hadn't told them she needed to go. She told them a minute after they left. The teacher told her she would have to wait. Being the spoiled rotten kid she is - she make a mean face and stuck out her tongue. Her teacher was so surprised because Ally typically doesn't do that. To say the least, Ally had to apologize to her teacher this morning for not using her nice face and sticking out her tongue. Thanks to Sherrie for keeping a straight face while my darling was devestated!!!

On another note, one of my very bright kids was being silly. He was messing with my wooden stool and got it stuck on his head. It wouldn't have been a huge deal except that he freaked out and wouldn't calm down to get it off. After several minutes of calming him down (as the others are rolling on the floor) we managed to talk about rectangles and how the diagnol is the longest side so if you can get head going the longest direction you will get it back out.

Did you ever think that I would create a teachable moment in the silliest situation?????
