teaching is just funny

this was a great quotes day.

"Ms. C...did you know that using anti-bacterial hand sanitizer can actually cause some bacteria to build up an immunity to it?"
"Yes. I did know that."
"Did you also know that anti-bacterial hand sanitizer tastes like Ever-Clear?"
"I'm sorry..what?
"Ummmm...."
"Riley, how do you know what hand sanitizer tastes like?...better yet...how would you even know what Ever Clear tastes like?"
"Well...I...um...well Ms. C you went to college right!?"
"Yeah......but you didn't."
"Didn't you drink Ever Clear?"
"No, I didn't drink a thing until I turned 21."
"WHAT!? But you went to COLLEGE!"
"Yes."
"Were you in a sorority?"
"Yes."
(other student) "Those are drinking clubs!!!"
"Ok we are not talking about this anymore."
(trying to move on)
5 minutes later...
"Ms. C, you seriously have not ever had Ever Clear???"
"NO! Just play your Bingo Riley!"
hahahahha...oh man. hilarious.

LATER:
I taught the kids how to say "What are you going to do this weekend" in Spanish.
"Ms. C, what are you going to do this weekend?"
"well, I have to take an important test tomorrow morning, a teacher test."
"And then are you going to party?"
"Hmm, probably not."
"WHY NOT!? You should party Ms. C!"
"OK."
"No, seriously. You go to the club this weekend and you get yourself some dudes! You need some dudes!"
UN.REAL.

Then I had a kid tell me he loved me.

Students have started to say hi to me in the hall.

I got a "Happy Gram" from one of my students saying that she was so glad I was her Spanish teacher and that I was really nice. :) :)

I got a note from the principal saying I was doing a good job (that was HUGE to me)

I got the most ADD kid I have ever seen who never participates in anything to play Bingo today. and he won. it was awesome.


I'm starting to settle in...and I think I like this whole "teacher" thing!
