After bandaging a wound on Student 1, I told Students 2 and 3, who helped me with the process,
"Thank you for being such great nurses!" and Student 2 said,
"I am a nurse and (Student 3's name) is a doctor."
Then Student 4 came along and said, "And I'm an old man, dressed in DISGUISE!"

My class has been watching meal worms turn into beetles and one student said, "My beetles might eat each other."
I said, "Yep. That's kind of the deal for beetles though. It's just part of life for them."
Then she said, "But....it's not going to be a bloody situation.....is it?"

A student told me today, "You have ALL the muscles!"
Another student decided that since we were subtracting from 11 and she only has 10 fingers, she'd use her tongue as 11.

"YAY!"

I had this conversation with a student today:
"Why do you not have a husband?"
"God hasn't given me one yet."
"Well....are you gonna get one?"
"I hope so!"
"Maybe you'll have children, too."
"Maybe, but I have to have a husband first."
"Yeah...you get a husband...get married...have kids....get a house...and own room service."
April 17
From last week: After cleaning up bird poop on a picnic table for the umpteenth time, a student asked,
"Why do birds poop wherever they want?"
I said, "Because they aren't potty trained like we are," and he responded with, "It'd be cool if we could train them to go in the trash can."

"I just can't imagine Miss Cunningham being young..........(long pause)........like seven. I feel like I'm gonna be seven my entire life and be in first grade forever."

March 1
A student came up to me and with lips pursed said, "I just can't take it anymore! My lips are KILLING me!"
March 2
When discussing how places and buildings change over time, I asked the class,
"Does our school look really different now compared to when I was in first grade?" Some shook their head yes and some no.
I asked, "Why did some of you say no?" and a student answered,
"Because it wasn't that long ago that you were in first grade
[ie: you aren't THAT old!]."
(GOOD answer!) ;)
March 11
When a child was trying to read the word 'why,' he struggled with it for a moment and then proceeded with, "Wh......iskey!?" with an innocent voice. As the word came up again throughout the page, he defaulted to "Whiskey" as his go-to word.
March 15
I asked a student about a picture he had drawn of himself capturing a leprechaun. I noticed something in the corner and wasn't sure what it was, so I said, "Tell me about this part," and he said, "That's a mouse. He's watching me and eating popcorn!"
March 17
When asking a student to tie her shoe, she responded with,
"Mmm....that's classified information,"
and when telling another student that I would love to have her imagination she said, "You can borrow it!"
March 25
Working on a Bible book about Heaven, the kids were helping me complete the sentence,
"Jesus is making....." and one student filled in the blank with, "ME HUNGRY!"
After hearing what Jesus did on the cross for us, another student said very empathetically, "After hearing that story, I just feel like we should do something to pay Him back!" so we talked about living a life that's pleasing to Him, sharing the Gospel with others, and we even prayed The Sinner's Prayer! Hallelujah! May His name be praised!
