Some favorite student quotes...

As a teacher, I get to spend time with kids all day and, of course, get to hear all the hilarious things they say. I decided I'm going to record some of the things they say here on my blog...enjoy! Here are a few of my favorites so far:
Kindergartner: "Miss Wall, you look like...you look like...you look like YOU!" Now that was unexpected, though very very true.
My co-worker Cathy: "What will you play for us today?" Kindergartner: "Stand, Stand Up for Jesus" Kindergartner #2: "Jesus? I love Jesus" Kindergartner #3: "Me too!"
Co-worker Cathy: "What animal do you think of in the Spring?" 4 yr old student (confidently, I might add): "A Ghost!!!" Uh, all right. The is neither an animal nor do we typically identify it with springtime, but hey, let's go with it ;)
While learning a new song, a kindergartner said: "So the Queen of Hearts made tarts all day, and the Knave of Hearts stole them. I just don't get it. That's weird." Yes, yes it is.
1st grade piano student: "Well, people say that playing with your pinky finger means the sound is higher, but this sound is lower." Me: "I have no idea what you mean, but explain it to me." Student: "Yeah, everybody says that playing with your pinky finger means the sound is high." Me: "Hmmm. What people are those?" Student: "Oh, just everybody." Ah ha. I knew there was something I'd been missing this whole time.
6th grade student: "Miss Wall, how can you be so good at the piano for being so young?" Me: "How young do you think I am?" Student: "You're 18, right?" Oh yes, just keep thinking that, my friend. I'm having my 18th birthday for the 12th time this year ;)
Co-worker Cathy (while learning the notes on Treble Staff): "What was above the grass in the story? What type of flowers were growing there?" 1st grade student: "Assodils!!!" Assodils. It's the "new" flower. ;)
6th grade student (said just after misbehaving in class and me asking him to stop): "You're really pretty, Miss Wall. In fact, you're beautiful." Now this was obviously an attempt to distract me from his misbehaving, and, let's be honest, it worked...well, for about a minute. ;)
