I HATE YOU LJ, YOU JUST MESSED UP MY LONG POST ABOUT THE CHILLUN'!!
Haha...okay highlights from today:
We were in the computer lab today, writing "word math problems"!! Mrs. Reimer is going to compile them into a big math test for the kids. Too cool.
*I had to help out a little boy that apparently doesn't know math or spelling as well as some of the other kids. I didn't know if he would want help, so I was kind of scared in approaching him. I pull out a chair and go (he's with all of his friends) "Can I sit in here?" He looks up and gives me a big smile "Of course, make yourself at home!!" he says enthusiastically. Aww.
*I was teaching him how to sound out words using phonetics (yes, I know most teachers don't teach phonics anymore...but I think it works, so I'm going to go against the "new fangled way" of making them recite words over and over again). And he looks up at me and grins "You know, I always get messed up with these hard words. They're always trying to trick me!" AWw.
*Later on I'm helping him and he goes "You know, you're really good. You must have a kid"
Me: (probably with a horrified look on my face...I mean, I was expecting it, I know that they think 22 is ancient...but yikes!) "No...no kids." with a forced smile.
Him: *surprised look* "Woah, guess my mom has it rough then, huh?" Hahaha...what the heck does that mean!?
*I get asked today if I have ever seen a "website". I smile and tell them I've seen a couple. Marcus goes "Ohh...have you seen this website where you can buy swords?! Why would you buy something just for poking out people's eyes?!" Me: *grinning* "Well, maybe people don't buy them just for taking out people's eyes." Him: "What else would they use them for, then!?!?" (as he looks at me like I'm crazy). It's precious. I couldn't even answer him.
*The little boy beside Marcus kept going "Guess what, guess what Nicole?! Guess what?!" hahaha...oh wow, I had to put him back on track about 92 times. Apparently he ate a billion candies the other day. I told him if he did, his stomach would have exploded by now. He goes "No way, I ate a billion." Then he goes "If someone ate a million oranges, they would never eat again for the rest of their lives." heehee. <3<3
Gosh, I love them. When I came in they were so happy to see me again. They sure love to use my name a lot. KELSI YOU WERE RIGHT. I want to adopt them all. Except for the math whiz kid that is mean to other children. He can stay at school. Haha.
