So, even though my kids may not be as inherently cute as those of teachers in elementary schools…the level of creativity and communication cannot be beat!
If you don't know…or a reminder if you do…my classroom is at the boy's end of the Grade 2 hallway. So, there are lots of teenage boys running around outside my classroom from time to time. It has been a nice week so I like to leave my door open and get some fresh air. I was working on lesson plans and I hear boys being boys. Then one of them calls me and our conversation goes like this:
Student: Teacher, come here.
So I get up and start across the room. (Because I have a deep-rooted belief that students come first in this line of work so I had damn well stop what I am doing and pay attention to them when they ask me to.)
Student: You have to see this.
He points into the changing room.
Student: He has nice chocolate (pronounced "choc-co-lat-uh")
My confusion must have shown on my face because then he proceeds to draw squares on his own stomach.
Me: You mean six-pack?
Student: Yes, six-pack.
Me: Ok. Um, yeah, I should not watch students change clothes.
Oh! The things my kids come up with never fails to amuse me!
