Can you post and humorous takes/paradoys abouyt teachers and the holiday season? Like a teacher's 12 days of christmas or something like that. If you can e-mail them to me also, that would be great! Thanks in advance!
I don't have a dog, but my 2 year old decided to "help" me correct. I had to attach a note to my 3rd graders tests explaining why they were covered in crayon scribbles!

So yeah, you do need to be not only talented, but skilled and trained to be a an artist in the truest sense of the word. And just so you know to be an art teacher, you not only have to have artistic skills, you must complete art courses, you as well as all the same education courses as well as art education courses and must pass three certification tests in order to be certified to teach art all-level...I've got a Masters, all-level certification, AND Bi-lingual certification from Pk-5th grade....that's probably more than you've got, Honey! > > > > >
I teach 3rd grade and we have been learning about 4 digit subtraction with and without regrouping. Yesterday the assignment included doing the problems and explaining your method. One child wrote as the explanation for all the problems: Regroping

I WOULD NOT USE "Day cares Don't Care" website because all it is about is basically saying that putting your child in a daycare is the same as child abuse and that all early childhood educators are hacks. I have a few choice words for the people who made that website. They do not have any jokes, as I was looking for the same thing
I taught for two years and now substitute teach, often getting my assignments the morning of. Today, as I explained to a 5th grade class why we were going to skip the science lesson that I was truly not prepared for (and at a college level), a student interjected:
But, Mrs. S., aren't you supposed to know this stuff?
ha, yeah, I said, if you would give me a half hour how to explain it. ;)
Our kindergarten teacher told us yesterday that one of her students came up to her desk with what appeared to be a bandage around her wrist. When asked what had happened she said she had bent her hand at home and it hurt so her mother had put this on it. Guess what "it" was. A maxi pad wrapped with electrical tape. The nurse thought it was pretty funny too. P S There wasn't really anything wrong with the kid's wrist.
A good friend of mine comes to our school once a month to do Art enrichment with all of our Kindergarten classes. She features a new artist each time, usually bringing in pictures of the artist for the students to look at. This month she did Pablo Picasso. She held up one picture of Picasso (as a young man in a long dress/cloak) and asked the students to tell her what they saw. Most commented that he had a smile on his face or long hair. One child raised her hand and said, "Oh, he must be a cross-dresser". We thought we were going to have to leave the room. It made my day!

> I think the young lady may have known more than we give her credit for. Maybe she meant that he looked like an angry dresser. We all know that many artists feel they are unable to do their best work unless they are suffering or fit into the category of the "angry artist!"

It was a Kindergarten student- everyone needs to lighten up!:- )
First of all, I have a really, really difficult class this year, so I look for anything that will make the day more bearable. I had three funny things happen today.
We had a two hour math inservice at school this morning. The presenter had given us some handouts with a rubber band around them. I had taken the rubber band off, and when we got ready to leave, I couldn't find it. I looked all over the table, under the papers, and on the floor, and finally asked the teacher sitting next to me if she had taken my rubber band, in a joking manner. She said, "Does it look like the one you are wearing on your wrist?" Sure enough there it was!
Then when I got back to the room, we went outside for our short, 10 minutes if we're lucky, recess. We have one of those slides that two kids can go down at the same time, one on the left side of the slide, and one on the right side. One of my students touched the other students face as he was getting ready to sit down, and must have "shocked" him. The other student said, "He shocked my gold tooth. I felt the electricity go through my head!"
Then, at the end of the day, I was passing out birthday invitations that one of my students had brought. She had lost some of them yesterday, and mom had to send some more so all the students would have them. The little girl is very sweet, but has a slight speech problem. She can't say the 's' sound or 't' sound very well. She meant to say, "The other cards were Scooby Doo, but these are Hello Kitty." However, when she said it, it came out, "The other cards were Tooby Doo, but these are Hello 't'itty."
My friend just called to tell me what happened earlier. Today is her 15th wedding anniversary. It occurred to them that their 3 children had never seen their wedding video. She baked a cake and decorated it to look like wedding cake and made punch. They all ate it and watched the video. She looked over to see her 4 1/2 year old daughter sobbing uncontrollably. When asked what was wrong Katie replied, "I just cannot believe that you let someone besides me be your flower girl!" LOL
I don't have a dog, but my 2 year old decided to "help" me correct.
