Not All May Teach

Student A&B: Mr. X, can we teach the class?
Me: Sure, we have a few minutes to kill between specials and lunch. Go for it!
Student A: All right everyone, sit down!
Student B: Let me have your attention! We are going to learn about vowels and continents today.
Me: Let me have the marker. You can't teach anymore.

A Little off the Mark

I love celebrating Baby Jesus as much as the next guy but this? 20th Century?

Ahhh the 80's

It was a time of unrest for some I mean, AIDS, big hair, shoulder pads but a Civil War?

Just a Simple Wish

Back to Nature...

It was raining outside so I opened the window and started putting our plants outside.

Student A: What is he doing? Why are the plants outside?
Student B: He's setting them free!

Anybody Seen Harriet?

While teaching a lesson on brainstorming, I wrote "Sports" on the board. We started brainstorming all the things we could think about sports. After a few minutes, everyone had just given me the names of sports. I challenged them to "think outside the box" and maybe come up with players, rules, equipment, etc.

Me: Who are some people who play sports?
Students: Ray Lewis, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, HARRIET TUBMAN!
Me: Harriet Tubman? What sport did she play?
Student: Hide and Seek

Well that is definitely "outside the box".

Knowing Your Audience

Student: MR. X! Guess what?!?
Me: What?
Student: I sang with my church group at the nursery home this weekend.
Me: You mean nursing home?
Student: Yeah. Where all the old people are.
