First, let me begin by saying this portion of my blog will be ongoing. Every morning I wake up and know that no two days will be the same. This blog is dedicated to the kids......thanking them for making me smile each day with some of the things they say. I think they are hilarious, and some of you may be thinking "I guess you had to be there." But read along and you will chuckle too.
I'm going to preface these quotes by asking you to look back at YOUR junor high expeience. Was it not a horrible time of your life?? It was for me. I was totally awkward, had raging and weird hormones, I was lanky, nerdy and on top of all that had really bad hair. I try to keep in mind that it IS a hard time for these kids and if they are laughing about something in my class, be it inappropriate or not, I should be glad that they are not crying over the latest drama of the day. ENJOY!!
Katelyn~ "If I don't get this map right, I will go batty!!"
Dylan~ "Miss Harrison, are you married?" Me~ "Nope, not yet." Dylan~"Are you going to be one of those ladies that have 38 cats, live by yourself and read the Reader's Digest everyday?"
DeAndre~ (working on a wordsearch) "I found LOVE!!" Ben~ "Congratulations, I hope you two live a long and happy life together." (This was sooooo funny! They didn't know I was listening.)
Trevor~ "Miss Harrison, Dalton just stapled my nipple and it is turning blue!" (WOW, don't ask for this one!)
Skye~ "In the moderate climate, there are carnivorous trees." (It is supposed to be coniferous, not human/man eating trees.)
Taggart~ "Can I go to the nurse? I got hand sanitizer in my eye!"
Kyonna~"Why is the TV making that sound??" Justin~ "Duh...it is to keep us all awake."
Hannah~ (After a lesson on the atmosphere. Before she asked this I compared the atmosphere to long underwear. Trying to explain that the atmosphere keeps the Earth at a comfortable temperature and acts as a protective barrier.) During a test: "Miss Harrison what kind of underwear does the Earth wear again??"
Ben~ "Hey Brandon, is it me or do you have a really annoying voice? Will you PLEASE shush so I can get this done before the day is over?!?!" (Wow, that's exactly what I was thinking!)
Well happy friends....hope you enjoyed these little tidbits of my day....there will be many more to come!!

I was SOOO hoping that you would blog about stuff like this! I just love hearing your stories about the kids. I laughed so hard Em! You're such a great teacher. Where do you come up with stuff like the long underwear ** Its really, really great!
Well.....sometimes they just look at you like "WTF are you talking about??" And you have to relate to them.....so at least it got their attention and if they learned one thing it was about the atmosphere. I will have to tell you (not blog) about my little one today that suggested something about lesbians and milkshakes........I about DIED right at my podium!!
I can only imagine, coming from a 7th grader. Can't wait to chat. Miss U!!
