Why I love my job...haha

Whew, it has been a while.  In May, I was trying to work as much as possible the last month of school.  In June, I was trying to finish my last like 60 continuing ed hours (every 5 years I have to have 150 continuing ed hours to renew my teaching certificate).  July, I'm finally free, but traveling a ton and trying to work on cleaning the house I neglected last month to finish the classes.  

Anyways, with all the teaching stuff on my mind the last few months, I decided it'd be fun to post some of the best quotes ever from my students over the last 5 years.  I was about to die while going back and reading these....SO FUNNY.  It's these kids and their silly, cute, sweet, hilarious attitudes that make me love my job so much!

 Kindergartener: I know what color an alien is!
Me: Oh, what color?
Kindergartener: It is a brrrr….greenish color.

Kindergartener: Ms. Dewoowen (can’t say my last name lol) he keeps looking at me.

Kindergartener: Mrs. Dewoowen, he is blowing on me!

Me: No, I’m not a mommy yet!

3 year old (at The Little Village): Guys who stick their tongue out can’t go to church.

Elementary student: (Written note to their P.E. teacher) I love PEE. It rocks!

Kindergartener(girl): Sometimes coyotes don’t always go to the right places. One time a coyote came on my street, climbed on my roof, and climbed into the chimney. We had a fire in the fireplace because it was a day when it was really cold outside. So, the coyote got burned up. So, then, we ate him.

Kindergartener(boy): One time a coyote got in my house. And I killed him!
Me: You killed him?!
Kindergartener(boy): Yeah. With my dad’s shotgun.

5 year old: You know Elmo?

Elementary student:  I’m not dumb, but I’m no dictionary!

Me: (to a 3 year old lil girl) Is your sister bigger or smaller than you?
3 year old girl:  Smaller…this small…(shows me a gap between her index and thumb, like an ‘x’ in sign language)
Me:  What is her name?
3 year old girl:  Me no know his name now…

4 year old:  (Can’t pronounce the “n” sound, trying to say “I’m done”)  I’m dumb!

3rd grader:  Do you like sharp objects?
Me:  No…why?
3rd grader:  Because my pencil is a sharp object now…I sharpened it too much.

2nd grader: Mrs. Wyers, can I tell you something? When you were standing over there (points to the teacher desk) you really sounded like a cowgirl.

Librarian: Do you know why I picked an owl for (to represent) poetry?
Young Student: Because half…the first half….of all words rhyme with owl…

2nd grader: I'm getting a new puppy. His name is Rainbow, but we are changing his name because my dad doesn't like it...and my mom doesn't like it because he's going to be a big, fat dog.
