Kids say the darnest things!

So one of my jobs is an ESP teacher at Whiteside Elementry. I work with k-8th grade, and let me just say, some of these kids are CRAZY. There is never a boring day at the job. When most of the kids are gone, some of the kids like to play what we the kids call " Circle therpy", this is where we sit in a circle around the gym floor and we let the kids ask a question and then everyone in the circle goes around answering. Now some of these kids give real answers, others..well not so much. One of the questions the other day was, "what did you eat for breakfast", everyone answers, or says i cant remeber, and then we have this little boy named brandon with bizzare answers such as "rocks, elephants toe nails, and forks" Sometimes i dont know where he comes up with this stuff without smiling. Another question will be "what is your favorite color, once again we will go around and everyone will answer, and then kids make up names for all their favorite colors combined. Alot of the times it will be wierd answers such as redrange "red & orange"...

Sometimes i wonder if i was that crazy as a kid too, what about you?

Snow, Sleeding, Sneezing and Scarfs!

Winter Time..

Winter time, some love it and others hate it. I am somewhere right around the middle. I believe winter has it's up's and down's. I think the snow is pretty, but it makes me angry when it snow's and its freezing but it doesnt stick or stay on the ground. If it's gonna snow, then really snow && when that happpens, SNOWDAY! I usually go sleeding and things the first big snow of the winter and then im over it. It's so cold out there going down getting snow stuck to you, and its alot of work to keep walking up at that giant hill just to slip right back down because your snow boots arent really snow boots, just for style. lol

There is alot to do in winter but only really when it snows, sking, sleeding, snowman, snow angels, seeing people slip and fall (only if its not you) and the snowball fights when your least expecting it..and of course theres christimas and new years, but is it really worth the 3-4 months of cold!

Bad things about winter: colds, flu, many car accidents, having to clean of your car off or starting it so you dont freeze. Everytime winter rolls around, im so ready for the warm weather to come back!

--Quote!

"We are oe leaf on the great human tree"

-Pablo Neruda

In class we had to pick a qoute from Writing to chang the world. I chose this quote because it is simple, short and stright to the point. This quote means to me that each person is just one person in the huge world and that each person is inter connected with one another.

It is also saying that humanity is like a wb that encompasses all things human.

I like this quote because i think it is true and it is reinforcing how big the world really is and how each leaf refers to a person or a family and how small it is compared to the rest of the world. It is saying how a person is just drop of water in a big thunder storm.
