The kids were doing a Thanksgiving acrostic naming things they are thankful for.
Me: Sweetie, are you really thankful for Vikings, or was that just the only v word you could think of?
Student: <exasperated> Mrs. Grubbs! Vikings were the first people to discover America! That’s really important!
I stand corrected.

One first grader, known for his vivid imagination, was telling everyone about something crazy, and after a while, one of his classmates finally looked at him and just said, “My Lord, Ian!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was invited to be a back-up singer in one of the first graders' new band. But he made me agree to a few things first:
1) I’m not allowed to play any orchestra instruments, especially tuba.
2) We are going to make a lot of money.
3) No fighting.
4) I have to try out first, to make sure I’m good.

Our Journal prompt was "The Time I Spent the Night at School"
Student 1: "One day I was working inside at school when KBAMMM!!! a blizzard hit and I could not get out so what I did was I snuck into the office and put black make up on my face to use as war paint. Then the battle was on. Then I ran and tried to bust out a window. Well, let's just say that's why I wear a cast..."
Student 2: "One day I spent the night at school...all the lights went out, and I mean all the lights. Not a single one worked. Then I heard feet squeaking. It was a tragedy."

Two students were arguing over who got to sit in the bean bag chair.
Me: Who got to it first?
Student: She did.
Me: Ok, well then she gets to sit in it.
Student: Yeah, but don't you always tell us to put others before ourselves??
