At the end of the day, I was playing freeze tag with my class and one student said, "Miss Cunningham, you're not very fast, but you’re GOOD!"

"My grandpa is old enough to be bald!"

During Reading Groups, one student started reading italicized words in a funny voice, and I said,
"It sounds like your battery is running out," and he responded,
"The words are squiggly, so I was reading in a squiggly voice!"

While chewing on chocolate cupcakes, my students were discussing what flavors they like and dislike. One said,
"I like ALL flavors...well....except for metal.....and paint......and paper!"

We went over the story of David and Goliath today during Bible, and talked about how Goliath had a lot of armor to keep his body safe, and how David didn't, etc. At the end of the day, one student put his head through his vest armpit hole so that the majority of the vest covered his torso and said, "Look! Miss Cunningham! I'm Goliath!"

While observing a game of Memory today, one first grader was winning and said,
"It's not really fair though, because I'm a super hero and I can read through the cards with my super powers. Now, I'll turn it off. ZING!"
