- You know our kiddos love being Child of the Day, and it's funny to see the ways they vie for this position ... even though every day it's a completely random drawing. One day after a recent break from school, Mrs. Connie was telling the kids how much she missed them. One little boy piped up, "Well, if you missed all of us, you could just pick all of us for Child of the Day."
- We were reading a story in which the main character was a pig. I showed the students the cover of the book and asked them what kind of animals they saw, and everyone responded "Pig!" This was quickly followed by one child noting, "Bacon comes from pigs." (And no, it wasn't lunchtime!)
- "Letter Q is my favorite!!"
- "I'm becoming a very nice gentleman."
- One little girl was using our toy doctor kit to take Mrs. Connie's blood pressure. She pumped up the arm cuff, looked seriously at the "results" and then declared, "You're completely dead. We have to get out all of the junk food."
- Any preschool teacher knows to expect a lot of potty humor ... it is what it is. One day a boy came out of the bathroom with a giant smile on his face and announced "I had to toot, and the poop came out at the same time--the toot and the poop came out together!"
- During our Valentine's party, Mrs. Connie and I joked about making ill-behaved students walk the plank. Apparently this wasn't OK with one little boy who finally told us, "If you say 'walk the plank' again, I'm going to take you to mine house, walk you to the dock, and push you in the water ... WITH NO LIFE JACKET."
- A dialogue overheard recently between a little girl and a little boy ... Girl: "Maybe when we get older and grow up, we can get married!" Boy: "I'm not getting married. I'm only going to play." G: "Well maybe we could have no sons and no daughters." B: "Well that might be OK."
And the reason we love our jobs ...
- "I love you more than the whole galaxy."
