Me (deciphering a students spelling): You see an alligator? (spelled: alugabor)
Student: Yeah.
Me: Al-uh-gay-DOR. Do you hear a B or a D? (pointing to the b in his spelling)
Student: Uhh. I have a little Lexus.
Me: What?!
Student: You know, like when the stuff gets all jumbled in your brain. Lexus? or whatever.
Me: Dyslexia?
Student: Yeah that's it.

Student A: Well I just finished this so I have only one more! (raising hands and looking up) THANK YOU JESUS!

Crusin' the Hall

Our counselor had surgery and was out for a while. She came back a few days ago and has been using a motorized scooter to get around. She leaves it outside the classroom and just stands while she teaches her lessons. Today as she was wrapping up her lesson with the kids one student raised his hand and said "Bye! Have a nice drive!"
