Scratchers

We don't allow food for "birthday treats" at our school so today a girl brought in her "birthday goodie bags" with contained the usual, lollipop, trinket and the kicker...a scratch off lottery ticket!

Conversation Overheard:

Student A: Hey! Are these stickers? (talking about lottery ticket)
Birthday Kid: Nope. Those are scratch ticket.
Student B: What's that?
Birthday Kid: You scratch them off and you can win money!

b's have Bellies, d's Don't

Letter formation is a huge part of the Kindergarten curriculum. Otherwise you end up with unfortunate sentences like this...

Got this sweet note from one of my K babies! 

Alice Needs GPS!

It's "Q" week so of course we are doing lots with "queens" and "quilts". We were making a "Queen's Quilt" and there were hearts all over the quilt...

Student A: Look! It's the Queen of Hearts like from that book we read!
Me: What book was that?
Student B: Peter Pan!
Me: No not Peter Pan.
Student A: Alice in Peterland...Wonderland. I mean Alice in Wonderland!

Looks like Alice made a wrong turn and went from G to X very quickly!

ALK Jr.?

We started reading King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table before break and since it had been a week, I wanted to make sure they remembered what we had read so far...

Me: OK. So it's been a week. Who can remember what story we are reading? Who is one of the characters?

Student: ARTHUR LUTHER KING JR.!!!

...so clearly, I need to back up and try again.
