A KEEPER

A parent came to visit our Kindergarden class with her small child, a perspective student, in tow. One of my first graders, a little boy, ran to the child and said to his Mom "aww, he's so cute - can we keep him?"

ADAM AND EVE

I was introducing my first grade class to odd and even numbers. "Does anyone know about odd and even?" I began. A little boy called out "oh yeah, I learned about those guys in Sunday school - they are in the bible!" It took me a minute to realize he was thinking of Adam and Eve!

COLOR BLIND

I was teaching my first graders primary colors. "Who can tell me the three primary colors" I said. "I know, I know" said one girl, her hand flying over her head. When I pointed to her she stood and said "Black, White and Mexican."

A SIGN OF THE TIMES

I work in a class of autistic students. Most of the kids have been together for several years. One boy has been in the class since fourth grade and is currently in 8th grade. He and another student started our program at the same time and have gone through the last several years together. We have been trying to use sign language with the boy, who is also non-verbal, but never knew if he was getting it or not. That is, until one day when he caught my eye, walked over to his female classmate, pointed at her newly blossoming bosom and, with a big grin, signed the word "BIG!"
