Friday Funnies

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friiiday! Almost! I know I know, pretty much the worst song EVER.  OK maybe not ever, but I think it's pretty close.  Tomorrow is going to be a pretty crazy day.  We have a 3 hour delay due to freezing rain & snow with the slight possibility of clsoing.  Well, the kids have a delay.  There's no such thing as a delay for me, it's called "Planning time". Ever heard of that?  I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't, it's a pretty hard thing to come by in the teaching career.. I joke I joke...except not really.  Anyway- I love a quiet classroom without children.  When everything is all in order & seems perfect.  I love it almost as much as I love the buzz of little voices trying to figure out the PERFECT voice for the 3rd wolf in "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig" and how they should perform for us.  Alrighty, on to the reason of this post...

Friday Funnies, of course!  I've been kind of a slacker paying attention to my kids funnies & writing them down.  I'm already exhausted from this quarter with all the changes & crazy weather.  However, I will share a funny from a colleague that made me LOL, seriously.. and another heartwarming moment.  

So there is this very energetic kindergarten character.  I mean if you just watching him, you'll laugh.  The things he does.  I don't know how this teacher handles him.  Anyway- one of my 2nd grade colleagues sits with him during car rider pick up and he was showing her his super cool glasses.  She was putting them up to her face, to her eyes, and looking all around.  UNTIL he all of a sudden says, "Yea, I had to keep them in my pants so Mrs. Spence didn't know!"..  Yes, glasses thrown placed gently on the table.  When we ask Mrs. Spence if she knew about this because we were just cracking up over it she says, "Oh Yes, he showed them to me and I asked where he got them and he says, ' It's a secret, I'm not telling yoooooou'" Oh. My. Word, I don't know whether I should be scared of the possibility of teaching him in 2 years or embrace the potential funnies that could come along.. 

And for my little heartwarming moment..

I have a student who I am really struggling with.  He is bigger than all of the other kids and can get quite a bully.  He has a negative attitude, is behind, doesn't listen most of the time, and has been really mean to the kiddos in my class.  Needless to say, He and I don't have the best relationship.  I am trying and trying and trying, and I think it's starting to pay off because for the sub today, they had to write me a letter telling me about how their day was and what they learned and this is what his said...

Dear Ms. Gravelle

Today we had a grat day   it was funny to day.  We mist you fare muck we mad a pargraf for you.  I cant wat for you to cume back.

Student

Talk about put a smile on my face!  Efforts = Not a waste of time! Yay

So there are my shares for the week (posted early so you have time to think & link- Ha Think & Link.. I'm like Dr. Seuss).  I hope you'll consider linking up to share the funny things your kids say & do!

Friday Funnies Linky!!

It's that time of the week again! It's time for sharing all of our Funnies from the week!!

I have to admit that I slacked off a bit this week on keeping track, and when I was trying to I had nothing to write it down.  When I got back to my room, I COULDN'T remember no matter how hard I tried! Rawr, don't you hate when that happens?  Well I'll add more as I think of them because I laugh so much because of the funny things my kids say or do throughout the week.

The one funny I got written down was when one of my little ones (who has a very difficult time concentrating/ getting her work done) comes up to me in the morning and says in a distressed voice "So, Ms G.. we are LITERALLY reading this magazine about Martin Luther King Jr?"

"Why, yes, we are...thanks for noticing that we are doing it literally!"  Laugh*out*loud!

So what funny things did your kids say or do throughout the week? Link up & share in the fun & laughter

*Sorry, don't know what happened but linking is now available! :)

Friday Funnies- A Linky Party!

I  know there are a TON of linky parties out there, especially ones that happen on Fridays.  It something about the words "Friday" and "party" together- BUT... my kids just keep saying these funny things, and it would be a shame not to share.. and you can't really do Monday Funnies, Tuesday Funnies etc.. it just doesn't sound FUN, so that's why I  had to come to the decision to make it Fridays. So welcome, Friday Funnies!!

 Friday Funnies will be a weekly linky party to share all the funny things that your little ones said throughout the week.  So, if you're like me... dust off that journal- you know, the one you got to write down all those great moments, but haven't used..  and keep track of all those funny moments.  Who  knows, maybe one day we could compile them all into a book :)

Here are a few of my funnies from the week!

Other Teacher: Mark* asked me if I saw the hump in his hair and asked if I liked it.  He said his mom did it for him.  He is just too funny.

*10 minutes later at recess*

Student: Hey Ms. G!

Me: Hey Mark!  Heeeeeeeeyyy, you have a bump in your hair!

Student: No, It's not a BUMP, its a HUMP

Me: Oh, I'm sorry, you have a hump in your hair!  Did you do it?

Student: No uhm my mom did last night.  

Me: Oh, you asked her to? 

Student: Yeah! She did it when I was sleeping with her hairspray.

Me: Oh, you didn't do it this morning? I'm surprised it stayed like that through the night.  She must have some pretty strong hairspray.  Is it suave?

Student: Yea, I think.... It's got a green top.

Me: Well it looks pretty neat.  What made you want to put a hump in your hair?

Student: Well, Patricia Polacco has a hump in her hair!

Me: Ooh, I see.  How did you know that?

Student: Well I saw her pictures.

Me: Cool!  Hey, maybe you could be an author like her!

Student: No, I'm not an author, but Patricia Polacco is!

Me: Yea, but I bet you could be if you really wanted to.  

Student: Yea.  Do you want a hump in your hair?

Me: No, I don't think it would look as good as yours.  I think I'll stick to just looking at yours.

Student: Yea, not everyone looks good with a hump like me.  It's windy. Is the wind blowing my hump away?

Me: Well, a little bit but not much. It's still there.  That hairspray is holding on strong.

Student: Oh! Ok.  

Me: Why don't you go play?

Student: No, I don't want my hump to be blown away by the wind.  It's time to go inside now?  It's pretty cold.

(Side note: The entire time I am talking to this student, he he walking trying to look back at his shadow to see his "hump")

This precious little boy was so serious about his cool Patricia Polacco "hump" and he came sporting it again today..touching it every once in a while to make sure it was still there.  Oh how I wish this little bundle was in my class!

Ok- last Funny...

Student: Ms G (talking very slowly).. I feel draaaafty

Me: You feel drafty?  What do you mean you feel drafty?

Student: You know, like dizzy and light headed

Me: Ahh you mean DROWSY

Student: Oh Yea! That's it... (And skips off COMPLETELY FINE)

So there are some of my funnies from this week.. I hope you decide to link up and share some of your own! :)
 P.S. Since this is my first linky party, I am testing out using Text links- but will switch to pictures soon.. I promise!!
