Again with the Age

While explaining centers today, I ran into the corner of a table and kind of tripped around for a second. A student yelled out...

"BE CAREFUL! Don't break a hip!"

Thanks...I'll be 28 in 2 weeks.

I Doth Protest

Our spelling pattern this week was "th" words. In order to keep the students from memorizing the list I give them 20 words to work with and then choose 10 for the test. One of the words this week is "hath"

Student 1: What does hath even mean?
Student 2: I don't know. I'm just an average person who uses average words.

Guess my poet laureates will be in next years class...

Ageless...maybe

We had school pictures today and a student saw me get my picture taken...

Student A: Why did they take your picture Mr. X?
Me: Because these are for the yearbook and in 50 years when you are 56, you can show your grandkids who your first grade teacher was.
Student A: Wow! If we will be 56, how old will you be?
Student B: DEAD!
Me: Umm, no I will be 78.
Student C: Will you still be working here when you are 78!?!
Me: I sure hope not!
