Word Play

Students had a sheet where there were two words that when combined made a new word. Each word had a picture and the students were to draw a picture that represented the new word. Here is the best one...



(the picture shows a dog on fire. Guess that works too!)

Be Cool About Fire Safety

Went to the fire station today. They showed a movie with a young Lindsey Lohan, Gilbert Godfred, and Little Richard. Guess it was just whomever wanted to work that day was allowed on set.

Caviar Dreams


Extras?!? I can't afford lunch!



Root Words

Teacher: Remember when we are writing our stories you want to show examples of dialogue.
Student: Dialogue? What's that? Is it when someone dies in a log?

Do Diligent Duties

Same spelling test...

Teacher: Duties
(student laughter)
Student A: Duties?
(more laughter)
Teacher: Don't be gross! Duties, like a police officer performs his duties.
(louder laughter, even small smile from teacher.)
Student B: Didn't we already do duties?
(whole classroom erupts in laughter, including teachers.)

Ahhh the power of perversion among the English language.

Another Angel for Heaven

While giving a spelling test, the teacher called out, "Church. My family and I go to church on Sundays. Church."
To which a student responded, "I finally received the body of Christ yesterday at church."

Spelling Bee

A teacher and I were joking today about how the lesson plan had been pulled out of the air.

Me: That lesson was informative, right guys? Mrs. X is a J-O-K-E. (laughing)
Student: Jerk?
Me: Almost. (more laughing)

Ah, youth and their spell check and auto correct.

Back it up

In the cafeteria today, a student was wiping off the table and I commented

Me: Wow! You are really doing a great job cleaning the table. Thanks!
Student: Yeah. I'm putting my back into it.

Guess elbow grease is overdone.
