Teaching Stories

After seventeen weeks teaching, I have some really good stories! Almost everyday I come home with at least one hilarious thing one of my forty students has said or done. Here are some of my favorites:

- We've been having lots of trouble with the bathroom. I had a student need to go to the bathroom, and asked me if he could. I told him, "You need to wait until the girl gets back from the restroom then you can go. He replied, " But, I'm a boy!!"

- One of my students asked me why Jon & I didn't have children yet. She told me she didn't understand why we were married & didn't have any babies. She pleaded with me to have a baby. Two days later, I was standing at the door telling them goodbye. She gave me a big hug & said "Bye, Mrs. Warren!". Then, I see her little hand reach out and touch my belly, she said " Bye Baby".

- I caught one of my students sucking their thumb, and called her name then gave her a signal to get it out of her mouth. She raised her hand, and I called on her. She said, "Mrs. Warren, the I suck my thumb cuz when I was little all I had to do was suck my thumb and rub my belly button. It make everything better, and it still do."

- One afternoon, my phone rang & I just let it ring while I was teaching. One of my students stood up out of his seat & said, "I get it. (pretending to answer my phone) 'Hellur, This Ms. Warren'"

- One of my students explaining why he & his brother fight, "Well, you see, I have alot of violence in me"
