Stuff Kids Say

I've decided that the stuff I see and hear in school is too deliriously funny not to share, and it deserves grander a forum than my Facebook statuses, so I will post on my blog in more detail "Stuff Kids Say." 420 characters in a status is not enough and I have to condense the text, but here, I can ramble forever. 


This year, I teach third graders, so most of these posts will come from the ingenius things they do and say and write. These are the reasons why I love kids and why I love teaching and why I laugh. 


Today, I brought a little mailbox to school and told the class that since they always have a million questions and comments for each other and for me, they can write them down and put them in the mailbox. I will write back to them or answer the questions for the whole class if it is appropriate. On the first day, I got 10 letters (though not all of them were for me)!
