While reading about the desert and cactuses (cacti?).
Student: “Ms. Byrns! My friend saw those. When she moved here from Mexico she went through the desert and saw those!”
My response: “Was it hot? Or did you friend come at night?” (We had been talking about how hot the weather was in the desert….and I admit…I was curious.)
“Ms. Byrns, David went home at recess. He said he has the fluency.”-student (Too bad he actually has the flu and not very good fluency.)
Christopher: Ms. Byrns, today I was listening to you, so you know, I was watching you and I thought ‘You look pregnant.’ So are you pregnant? Because you look like it.”
Me: Um, no I’m not. So I guess I should just run more?
Christopher: Yeah.

This one is actually from one of my future students (he’s in 3rd grade right now.)
Principal: Wow! How did your table group win “Star Students” this week?
Student: We did everything Obama told us to. [after Obama's address to students]
