Oh that child...

Well, the past 2 1/2 weeks of student teaching have been very fast-paced and full of entertainment. First graders will not let you down on entertainment value, that's for sure. This week's statement of the goes to, one very adorable little boy. Standing in the hallway after lunch, a little boy looks at me and says, "Mrs. Dilbeck, you look like you still got yo baby teef." He turns and taps the shoulder of his friend standing next to him and says, "Hey (insert child's name) don't Mrs. Dilbeck look like she still got her baby teef." It was a rather entertaining dialogue that followed reasoning why my teeth don't look huge inside my mouth.

Second runner up is a little girl with a big attitude. (Although, I'm sure my cooperating teacher thinks she should receive first place seeing as she doesn't seem to tire of telling people this story. ;) The stage was something like this, I was making my rounds to make sure that all of the students were on task doing their work. I stopped and sat down at the "Listening Center" station with Group 2. I made a comment to one of the students about the quality of work she was completing, and made a suggestion or maybe told her something needed to be corrected. She turns her head, flops her wrist in my direction, and says, "I got this, girlfrand." Just like that, I had to turn my head to hide my smirk.

Now, I just want to share that I am well aware of several misspellings in the student quotations. I just feel like the enunciation of the students was an important contributing factor in making these stories much more hilarious.

I must get back to my busy life of writing lesson plans. Maybe I will see the light of day soon (as well as that of the one at the end of the tunnel that is student teaching) and post again sometime soon. Until next time...
