Saturday's Top 5 Laughs

Here are my 5 laughs from preschool this week.

1. We have been learning about houses this week so I asked a little girl "Where is your house?" Without hesitation, she made the astute observation: "At home!"

2. Today one of the girls in my class told me all about where she came from. She said "I used to be a tadpole in an egg in my mommy's belly. I was in there with my brother!" When I told her mother about it later, she said she had told the daughter before that she started out as a tadpole. And when the mother had asked her how she got out of mommy's belly, she had responded that she crawled out.

3. We were reading the book The Three Little Pigs. Upon seeing the picture of the wolf blowing, the other teacher asked why is the wolf mad? One little boy said "Because his face is purple!"

4. After reading The Three Little Pigs, one little boy was snorting and another girl said "He smells like a pig." We quickly corrected her, saying "He SOUNDS like a pig." But I guess technically he was "smelling" like a pig does :)

5. Upon arriving in the classroom at lunch time, one child said "What smells like food?"

And a bonus laugh for those of you who love or have kids who love Angry Birds...

My hubby overheard this conversation the other day:
Mom: We can kill 2 birds with one stone.
Daughter: Mom, don't you mean we can kill 2 pigs with one bird?

Here are my laughs for the week. Haven't done this in a few weeks as we've been out on winter break.

1. Little boy, playing with cars, says "My racecar can go superfast like 20 miles per hour!!!"
2. Playing with playdough: "I'm making you a cake for your birthday. These are the candles." I asked how old am I, 20? "No, older." I asked, 100? "Yes"
3. I saw a boy in the kitchen area hitting the baby doll in the head with a stick of asparagus and asked why he was hitting the baby? "He was saying bad words."
4. At art, I asked a student what they were painting. "A grape maker." What's that, I ask dumbly? "It makes grapes." OF COURSE! :)
5. We notice a little girl is walking around with a memory car in her hand and says "Adrian gave this to me." So upon questioning, Adrian confirms it's not his. We ask the girl, "Which Adrian?" (Technically we do have 2, but one was not here then.) She went and pointed to someone totally different with a similar-sounding name.

Here are my top 5 laughs from the last 2 weeks, since I didn't do one last week.

1. We are studying about farms and I asked the class "What do chickens eat?" and one child responded with "Eggs."

2. At breakfast time, we were eating fruit cups and talking about what we eat at home and one child said "My mom doesn't know how to make fruit!"

3. I asked the class "What animal lives on the farm?" I got an answer of "Tigers."

4. While lining up to go home, one child was right next to the door and randomly said "Ms. L, do you hear a giant?" I responded no and he kept asking me. Then a minute later, he starts saying loud enough for the whole class to hear "Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!!"

5. I asked all my students today, just for the fun of it, "Are you cute?" Of course, the overwhelming majority responded with "yes," and the rest just nodded their heads. They ARE so cute!!!

Here are my laughs this week:

1. While playing the Wii in the classroom, I hear one of my students shout, "Holy Moley Guacamole!"

2. The kids were just calmly eating breakfast, when all of a sudden a conversation breaks out about sharks. One little girl says "I fell in the water, I couldn't reach my bike because it was too far away, the shark just stared at me." Then another little boy who just had to tell his story chimes in "I fell in the water and the shark ate me!"  Guess he just had to one-up her...

3. The kids were talking about wanting to ride the bus (which none of them do) and asked if I would take them to the bus. I replied "I'll put you all on the bus and send you to Mexico." Hmm, might not have been funny for the kids, hope none of them repeat that to their parents, LOL!

4. Baby L has started giving hugs and "kisses" now. They are the wet, open mouth, drool everywhere, "I'm gonna eat you" kisses that babies start out doing, but still it's a kiss and from my lil man. I'll take it!

5. When you lift your eyebrows up and down at the baby, he tries to imitate, but can't figure exactly how to do it, so it looks like he's just squinting his eyes.

Saturday's Top 5 Laughs

Well, here are my 5 laughs. They turned out to be more baby related than school related because honestly, I had a few school ones, but I completely forgot them. I am so forgetful these days, I need to write everything down. Anyhow here they are!

1. The baby (L) started picking up anything that remotely looks like a telephone (I even saw him using a water bottle tonight) and putting up to his ear like a phone, then babbles away, then puts it down. If we put our hand up like a phone and say hello, he grabs the nearest item and plays like he's talking. It's soo cute.

2. L also started playing peek-a-boo with us. He will hide behind something and crack up when he pulls it away. He thinks he is hilarious. But the kicker is, instead of peek-a-boo, he kinda makes a grunting noise.

3. We found a way to entertain L. The shredder... He loves it. He was totally cracking up when we put papers in there to be shredded!

4. Yet another way to entertain L. He was laying on the bed and I yelled "mommy-quake!" and shook the bed where he was laying. Again, he thought it was pretty hilarious!

5. Ok, finally a school one. This was pretty hard one to forget. I was setting up the Wii for the kids and all of a sudden I hear my assistant teacher saying "Oh my gosh!" I looked over and in the bathroom was standing one of my little girls totally naked. She was putting on the clothes she had brought to school in her backpack. There was no reason for her to change (wet clothes, etc). She just was not pleased with what mommy put her in. We found out the little girl had packed her own clothes into the bag herself!

4 Preschool Laughs of the week and a baby laugh thrown in for good measure:

1. Playing pet store: Child 1-“That will be 99 dollars.” Child 2-“I don’t have 99 dollars!”

2. Lunch Time Chat: Child 1-“I’m from Sudan. I love Sudan!” Me-“Have you been there?” Child 1-“No” Child 2- “My mom’s name is Susan.”

3. Choice Time: Child 1 who barely speaks (holding a magnet wand with 2 magnet balls, one attached to each side) “It has ears!”

4. Snack Time: I am putting in attendance at the computer and turn around to Child 1 who says “Look!” and his hand is completely covered in yogurt!

5. The baby is starting to imitate everything we do. The dancing and shaking the head is pretty funny, but this week he has begun to crab crawl. The other day he was crab crawling with a Duplo block in his mouth. He came over to me and stuck in it my mouth and when I bit down on it and wouldn’t let go, he thought it was hilarious and screamed with laughter!
