Kids Say the Cutest Things
I thought it would be fun to share some of the cute sayings that have come right out of the mouths of babes here in my classroom. Please know that I do this with only good intentions as some of the things they say are so innocent and sincere that you can't help but giggle. We hope they make you smile, too.
When I finished reading a book today, I thought SS said "Amen", but she actually said, "The End."
After seeing the skeleton in Mr. VanBerkum's classroom today, RVW said, "Did he make the skeleton or did someone die and he used the bones?"
It was rainy this morning and the kids thought the chairs in the room above us were "thunder".
CB saw a bug by his locker, so he stepped on it and said, "I heard him croak".
When I announced who got to take home one of our special books, CB said, "Give it up for Daniel!"
SS saw balloons on my desk and said, "What are we going to do with the ba-bloons?" I tried to have her pronounce it correctly and after a few tries she said, "It's a tricky word, so I put a spell on it".
JH said, "I got a little sister and she can get the best of me".
SS came up and gave me a hug and JS said, "I know you like hugs." I smiled and said, "How do you know that?" He said, "Well, when I was signing up to come to school, someone said, 'You should give Mrs. Boekhout a hug when you see her because she likes hugs.'"
JS came up to my desk during Freeplay and said, "Hey, Mrs. Boekhout, a long time ago I had a dream just like this (referring to Freeplay)."
During Freeplay ED shouted, "Mrs. Boekhout, we found a real cricket and it's alife in here."
Before lunch today, JH said, "Mrs. Boekhout, I'm just gonna use han-hanitizer."
At the end of the day, JH said, "My packpack is heavy."
Today before last recess, MM lined up with her backpack as if it was time to go home. So I reminded her that it was recess time and she smiled and said, "I keep forgetting things." Then she let out a hearty laugh and said, "I laugh at me sometimes."
While helping JVZ tie his shoes before we left for P.E., I said, "Wow, this sure is a tight knot". Then SS said, "Sometimes I bite my knots to get them out." So JVZ said, "Well, these are my new shoes and I don't want nobody biting them."
Today after reminding SS about the directions, she said, "Sometimes my ears don't hear because they're taking a little nap."
This morning I told SS that she looked so fancy in her dress and she said, "Yeah, my sister had to use jello for my bangs" (she meant gel).
KC was my helper for Calendar today and said, "My brain is smart...hard as a rock."
When I told RVW he did a really nice job coloring his Santa, he said, "I know, my Mom calls me an Artist."
I announced to the class that it was almost time for everyone to be done with their activity by saying, "Alright, finish up guys" and JS said to a friend, "and girls....she forgot".
KC told me, "I won't be at school tomorrow because I'll be at Santa's. I have something really important to tell him." I asked him what he needed to tell him and he said, "It's a secret".
As KC came into the room this morning he heard a beeping sound and said, "What was that noise?" I told him I wasn't sure and he said, "I got a mystery.....mysteries help us take clues."
This morning MB said, "It's blistering out today - I think we'll get out early" (she meant blizzarding). Later she said it again and when one of the kids tried to correct her, she said, "I kinda get a little mixed up with it anyway, 'cuz I have 4 teeth lost."
After RVW took his Accelerated Reading test today and saw he got a 5/5, he said, "WHAT?!...I never knew I could do that!"
While working at their tables, I overheard this conversation.....JH said, "Do you like Santa?" and CB said, "Yes, and guess who other people I like in the sky?....Santa, God, and Jesus." JH said, "Me too."
During our Good Morning Cheer, JVZ fell down and was holding his chin, so I asked him what happened and smiling he said, "I accidently bumped my chin on Rex's hiney."
JS was missing his glove last recess, so we looked in his locker, backpack, and every lost and found for it, but could not find it. At the end of the day, though he opened his locker and it was in there. He exclaimed, "It's a MIRACLE!" (and it truly was) We decided that only God could have found it and put it in there.
After the Pledge of Allegiance this morning, ED said, "Mrs. Boekhout, my heart is beeping really fast!"
During Calendar this morning, RK said, "Mrs. Boekhout, this is a rainbow classroom."
RVW told his Mom that we should put Mr. Kruse's name on our Character Counts board because he let everyone play on the snow pile at recess.
At lunch, DG said to me, "My Mom's buying skinny milk now. So now I'm getting even skinnier than I am."
During Centers, DG said to JS, "Your arms are hairy" and he said, "Thanks, they're just like my Dad's....because I'm working on growing up."
KC said to me, "When I get big, I'm gonna drive a truck. I'm gonna drive that truck somewhere and save the planet."
At the end of the day I heard RVW say, "You're a genius, Daniel!" So I asked RVW what a genius is and he said, "That means he has a lot of money." Then JS told DS, "You're the way of the future." So I asked JS what that means and he said, "That means when you're time traveling."
JS came up and told me his band aid fell off the wart on his finger, so I asked him if he needed a new one and he said, "Yeah, 'cuz the girls don't like it."
Today we were doing an activity and MB said, "Mrs. Boekhout, I just hatched an idea."
This morning I switched our colored carpet around and CB said, "The green makes me feel more comfortable."
BK came in this morning and told me, "I'm going to sleep on my pigtail braids and then I'll be Taylor Swift tomorrow."
