Alright, I just have to write these down before I forget! I student taught in a 1st grade classroom. Among other things, I learned that 1st graders provide unending moments of comic relief -- most of the time without realizing it! Here are three quick stories:
One of the girls in my class (K) said, "Mrs. J, you look pretty, even in that dress." After her mother, my supervising teacher and I cracked up a bit, she revised it to especially in that dress.
(B) was from the south and had a great little drawl. He was also in speech for some work on certain sounds. One of the sounds happened to be /k/, which came out like /t/. During show and tell one day, he shared, "My aunt has sixteen titties!" It took a minute to realize the aunt's cat just had babies. Oh dear!
(T) had a particular problem one day. He raised his hand and said, "Teacher, whenever I look at (J) my heart starts to beat faster." I asked, "What does that mean?", to which he replied, "It means I'm in love." Later that day he told me that he was "ready to tell her she was his girlfriend."

Well, EJ, welcome! It is good to have you here on the bandwagon - make yourself comfortable!
Bring on the teaching stories! I may have to post my favorites, too...esp. the ones you've already heard about a dozen times.
Did you know that you and JJ can post separately? I saw that somewhere...:)
