Dancing at school


Sometimes in the morning the students will dance to this song for exercise. I can't seem to get the hang of it, that's why I'm the one filming. :)

Kids say and do the darndest things

so, today in class I was teaching Christmas vocabulary, when one of my fifth grade boys, in perfect English, yelled out " Teacher are you going to have a baby?" It flustered me a lot, but I know that to him it was just a casual conversation topic...so I said... "Maybe one day...Christmas Tree....Santa Claus....Presents" and continued teaching Christmas vocab...Then about three minutes later he blasted me with "teacher are you getting married?" I should have told him the truth, that I am married, but my husband is in a prison in Mexico. but I couldn't. So I told him that maybe one day I'd get married..."Stockings, Sleigh, bells, Christmas Carols..."
All in all it was a very interesting class.
Then just a little bit ago, I was wearing my jacket and a little 2nd grader started pointing and laughing at me...I guess I had buttoned it wrong. I must say it was very demoralizing to be laughed at by a 2nd grader for not knowing how to wear my jacket.

I guess kids just aren't sweet all the time. =(
