Science In-House Field Trip (9/28)
What happens when cats lick too much hair?
I.D. says, "They barf out a cat ball."
After discussing animals' scat, J. says, "Once I had bats in my attic and
they scat on my wall."

The kids won "Scoob," the Elf on a Shelf trophy from their Media Special (for
being such good SWIMmers). They proudly brought it back to class. T.,
pointing to the elf on top of the trophy, says, "That's a pretty troll,
ain't it?"

"Work isn't my favorite activity," was A.'s response to why he/she wasn't
completing work.

"What's the magic word?" I asked, when a student asked me for help zipping
his/her jacket. Deadpan, "Abracadabra," was the response.

A student ran over and sat beside me on a bench at recess. "Gotta rest!" she
said, breathless. "Workin' all day and all night!"

After a moment of unruly behavior among some of our gentlemen, I turned to
the student next to me, shook my head, and said, "I tell ya, boys, boys,
boys...." She replied, "I know, always high maintment!" 11/16/11

Two boys had chosen a spot next to my houseplants. "We wanted to pick this
spot so we'd have more oxygen," one told me. 1/30/12

A student found a tiny jacket in a cubby and there was some confusion about
who it belonged to. I finally realized Livia must have left it in
there when she visited my classroom. "That was a cute mystery!" a boy
exclaimed. 2/7/12
