Student: I was. One time I was laying in my bed and I heard something outside my window...
(at this point I was completely engaged and thought something serious was going to come up...)
Student (cont.): ...and then a NINJA came through my window!
Me: Oooook, great.
About 20 days before David and I got married, I started a countdown. One morning one of the students shouted out "8 more days until Ms. Ellis has a baaaaaby!!!"
This was quickly corrected.
One of my students got in trouble for saying some bad words...the next day he told me this:
"Mrs. Vining, I put all of my bad words in a box and threw it in the ocean!"
During lunch, one of my students asked: "Mrs. Vining, do you know what I want to be when I grow up?". I asked her what and she responded, "A vegetarian!" (she meant veterinarian)
While I was with one of my small groups, we were reading the story "Mama's Birthday Present". During the reading, I asked a series of questions, one of them being "Do you think that all of these people cared about Mama?" One of the students responded with "Yea they cared, because if they didn't they would say 'I don't care about yo mama's birthday'."
more stories and quotes to come!
