These funnies are both from little Zeke:
We were at reading center and one of the students said "My mom told me you are going to have a baby." I said that I was and Zeke replied "Ya I know you are cause your stomach used to be like this (and he sucks in his stomach)". Haha at least I know my stomach used to be flat :)
Zeke came up to me the other day with a really concerned tone and said "Teacher, Jennifer is just fillyfarting around!" I couldn't help but laugh. Fillyfarting??!! Haha

First Grade Funnies
Laurence did come back to school with a completely shaved head. I overheard a little girl next to him say "Your hair looks kinda weird." I don't think he'll be cutting his hair again. Although I did catch him playing with two pairs of scissors under his desk the other day.
One little boy in my class is just so darn adorable, Zeke Anytime there is trash to be picked up or we need to take out the recycling he is all over it. He told me the other day "Teacher, I like to help."
I overheard him say to the other students at his table "Guys, did you know that at your wedding you have to kiss in front of EVERYBODY!? That is the part I don't want to do!" I chuckled and he heard me and smiled and said "I don't!"
Zeke appears to be very concerned about his future because on Monday we had a wild kitten inside the school and they announced over the intercom that if any students found it they shouldn't pet it because it might have some diseases and it's not used to being touched. He called out to me in a very concerned voice "Teacher! I'm scared! I don't want to die! I wanted to live to be a grandpa."
We were at calendar and each week the All About Me student gets to present a little poster about themselves and then the other students can ask five questions or comment. Andy had put on his poster that his favorite food was ham. One little girl's question was what his favorite type of ham was. His response was "turkey ham" and the little girl was all enthusiastic "Mmmmm! I love turkey ham." Can't say I've every tried turkey ham (I think he meant his favorite food was meat and he calls all meat ham). Then another bright little first grader commented "Ham comes from a pig's butt cheeks!". Haha I couldn't help but laugh.
Love those little funny first graders.

First grade long term sub job
I started my long term sub job a little earlier than expected. The teacher I am subbing for went to her appointment and was already dilated to a four and had big time swelling so the doctor wanted her to be off her feet.
The first grade class I will be in for the next couple months is a great group of kids and they crack me up. That age is so lovable and they will just tell you that they like you and they want to hold your hand and really make you feel loved.
On my first day the students were working on writing three things that they like about the "All About Me" student for that week. Once they wrote their three sentences they would come up to me and read them to me and I would help them make any corrections. I was helping one student and I hear "Laurence is cutting his hair!" I look up and little blondie boy has scissors frozen above his head and had taken two big chunks out of his hair. My first reaction was "Why did you do that!?" He didn't really reply and so I just went over and whispered to him that he'd need to stay in at recess so we could call his parents. One little girl was like "My mom would be pissed!" (I can't believe a first grader knows that word, but it kind of made me laugh inside). So at recess I took him down to the office to get his parents phone number and the principal was in there just getting off the phone. I guess they have had problems with this little one before so the principal said she would call. She put the phone on speaker and dad answered and she let him know that Laurence had decided to take a couple chunks out of his hair and she didn't want him to be surprised when he got off the bus. Dad handled it very well and just said "Well I guess he'll be pretty embarrassed when he comes to school with a bald head on Monday." I don't think this little guy will choose to cut his hair again. As we were walking back to class I said in my most compassionate voice "Looks like you'll have to find some warm hats to wear this winter to keep your head warm." We'll see how things look on Monday.
