showing what you know

The first two weeks of school we were leaning about matter. The different states, how it can change, etc. before moving on we took a quick quiz. 

I'm pretty sure she meant pencil...

new year

So I'm the worst. It's been forever since I posted. But to be fair, nothing has happened because I broke my foot 10 weeks ago like an dummy and couldn't do anything for awhile. However, that's about to change since it's a new school year and I have new ridiculous kids to quote. 

Last week I was walking around putting the kids backpack numbers on their name name tags. 

Kid: why are you putting hashtag 16 on my thing?

And then today a different kid said: what is this tic tac toe looking thing on my paper?

Me (laughing): that's a number sign. You need to put your number after it. 

Kid (unsure): ok. 

lesson learned

Me: Hey, you just stomped on my foot. 

Kid: It's not my fault, your foot was where I was walking. 

Me: No way man, my foot was there first and you took up my space with your foot. 

Kid: You know Ms. Ewing, I think you learned a valuable lesson today. You probably shouldn't wear flip flops to school. 

uh oh

Kid: how's your boyfriend?

Me: He's not my boyfriend, but he's good. I told him you've been calling me Queen Ewing, and that you brought me flowers the other day. He said he might have to come up and talk to you about that. 

Kid: (after he stopped laughing he got really serious.) Does he know I'm spending the night with you tomorrow at the lock in? He might get mad. 

confusion

Kid: I don't understand pinstagram. 

Me: That's not what it's called. 

Kid: I guess that's why I don't know how to pin stuff. 

instagram

Kid: I'm going to take a picture of you and put it on Instagram. 

Me: What will you tag it?

Kid: #BestTeacherEver #awesome #swag

Me: Swag?

Kid: Yeah. You've got swag. 

drinkers

We are studying plants right now and we did a science experiment where we put celery with one freshly cut end into vases with different colors using food coloring in order to see what would happen. I called each table group over one at a time to check it out and when I showed one group the bottoms of the red celery, this is what happened. 

Kid: It looks like blood!

Kid 2: Like a Bloody Mary!

Kid 3: No it doesn't, it looks like red wine.

Me: Wait, what? How do you know what a Bloody Mary is?

Kid 2: My mom likes them.
