Today I was doing some quick assessments on the kiddos, when it was Jack’s turn.
I pointed to a picture of a fire-truck, and asked, “Fire-truck; what's the first letter sound that you hear?”
He looks at me quizzically.
I repeated the word, and the question. “Fire-truck; what sound do you hear, Jack?”
He looked at me again, and said, “Woooooooooooo woooooo!”
He’s gifted.
Sometimes I wish I taught kindergarten. I filed my retirement paperwork today, with nary a tear or doubt. Love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou drew that one out . I got a little nervous when the word began with "F" and where the story might be going. Very cute! You're lucky! Thanks for all the fun posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. I love sharing. Frankly, that's what we LEARN in kindergarten!!!
ReplyDeletesharing.
Keep your eye on that one! I have a feeling he'll be giving you a few more stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of one of my 17-year-old cherubs. Sometimes the wee ones are wiser, in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably thinking "gosh...teacher's dumb. She doesn't know what a fire truck sounds like.." Haha...
ReplyDeleteKids are precious :)
Love the stories - the way you tell them!
ReplyDeleteOur little Frankie was telling girls in another k-class that she is the sassiest girl in our class. She keeps us on our toes!
My youngest leaves tomorrow to go back to school - I'll enjoy all those hugs tomorrow morning!
Out of the mouths of babes .....
ReplyDeletegod i need to get by here everyday. I love these stories. They always make me laugh out loud!!
ReplyDeleteThis MADE my day.
ReplyDeleteyep...he is the man...he might be president one day...nah, he's smarter than that...
ReplyDeleteKindergarteners rule :) So do their awesome teachers.
ReplyDelete(((HUGS)))
Got to love a child who cuts through all the crap. You've taught him well!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying education even more now that I'm retired. I've been substituting a few times a week. It's a little like being a grandparent. I sweep in, have fun with the kids, and leave at the end of the day with no papers to take home to correct. Once in awhile I get a note that says I'm the best substitute. What's not to love. Except when I get a note from some parent who has found my blog and complains to the superintendent that i shouldn't be allowed around children. But finally I can write and say what I want with no consequences. What's not to love!
ReplyDeleteWell, duh, teacher :)))
ReplyDeleteKindergarteners and oldsters(80+ y.o.'s) - there's so much truth in what they say - they just are viewing life from "their" perspective and leave us to decipher sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm here, enjoying the day with you! By the way, defining oldster is a "real" problem. . .

Too cute...I was preparing to hear the F-Bomb!
ReplyDeleteYou always make me giggle. :) Hope everything has settled down for you and that you aren't walking to school and have a something with 4 wheels that gets you to school. xxxooo's Nana - Sue's Mom.
ReplyDeleteOOoh did you ever walk into that one ;) There's a well known slogan in the UK for a firm selling glasses, I was doing a grammar test on one of my little dots and showed him a picture of a woman who'd dropped her glasses which were broken. "What happened?" I asked him, listening carefully for the structure he'd use, past and present tenses.... he took one look and said seriously "should have gone to spec-savers."
ReplyDeleteI am cracking. After reading this I asked my daughter who is in kindergarten if she new what sound firetruck started with and she did the same thing.
ReplyDelete:) Try testing one with echolalia. It took me a good 8 weeks before I figured out I could teach him sign language, and test him that way... I sure did love that kid! I wonder whatever happened to him... :(
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh; that is too funny! Thanks for the laugh. And I can just picture his face as he looked at you. Fun times :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! That's just like when a kid says, "gimme that" and I model, "May I please have that?" and then they say, "No, it's mine!"
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent. I asked my 7th grade French class to tell me how to say "I sing" and when I said, let me hear it, a boy actually started to sing. That gifted mentally stays with them a long time!
ReplyDeletePriceless.
ReplyDeletexo jj
ha ha, classic!!
ReplyDeleteMade my day, thank you :)

I adore your stories about the kids. I had an in home daycare for 11 years and the little ones cracked me up every single day.
ReplyDeleteI had one little one come running in the room one day saying, Mommy! She stopped, grinned at me, shook her head, and said, "You'se not my Mommy, you'se my Honey!"
Ahhhh, gotta love 'em! So I come here to get my dose of that by reading your stories. Thank you!
OMG that kid just kills me :) I love it when school is in session because you tell the funniest stories! I don't love when I read through the gadget on igoogle, because I can't comment! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. My daughter will be 5 in March. I could see her giving that answer.
ReplyDeleteI just chuckled out loud, scared the sleeping cat across my wrists/arms and now am bleeding... so worth it!!
ReplyDeleteThat rocks. Those are the classroom moments I miss about teaching!
