Kid Humor

• I told my kids to ask "Why?" more to get them thinking. When I asked the class to go over to the Reading Corner for a lesson, one kid looked at me and asked, "Why?". (This was not funny!)
• One child in my class is reading a football book. Here's the joke from the book: "Where does neither team ever win?" Answer: "Thailand". He would not leave me alone until he knew I had told Melanie about it!
• Each week my kids write a letter to me in response to the book they are reading. I told my kids that I will write them back, but if they want a descent sized letter that they need to write one themselves so that I have something to reply to. One kid wrote a 5 page letter about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone last week!
• Last week we were creating podcasts as meterologists for a weather forecast. (I'll let you know when they are up on my upcoming teacher website...) One kid decided that it would be fun to include both a sports update on the Bengals and a McDonald's commercial. Funny thing is that he never finished the assignment!
• When talking about the moon phases my kids were astonished that I have friends that work for NASA. They just stared at me with really wide eyes wanting to hear about being in charge of space walks. Anyone want to come talk to them about it?

And that's all I've got this morning! I'll sure more is to come... there always is!
