First day of school with students was today. My day went somewhat off the rails before I even left the house. I was zipping my backpack, getting ready to leave so I would be at work five minutes early, when there was an urgent pounding on the door.

Me: So my husband -- First grader: You have a husband? Me: I do, the whole time you've known me. First grader: Oh. I always thought you were feral. Me: Er, do you mean 'single'? First grader: Whatever the word is that you use for stray cats. 🙀

Today I was helping a kindergarten teacher assess whether students could count to 20. One student told me she could count "really high" so I said "well then we'd better get comfortable." She sat me on the floor and then laid down on my lap like a cat and counted up to 112.

Firefighters do hardcore outreach to young kids in communities because kids may need to be explicitly taught that firefighters/firetrucks are not scary. In a fire, many kids go into "hide" mode, and gear-wearing firefighters don't resembly people to them

Kindergartener: Ms. Driscoll, what did you just say? Can you repeat it? Me: What? I didn't say anything. Kindergartener: But you LOOKED at me VERY LOUDLY.

@SRMcP I'm actually one of the specials teachers. But at our school, we have built-in time in our schedules to push in to classrooms to help.

More kindergarten pre-testing... Me, reading a question out loud: "Jackie has eight cookies. She wants to eat some cookies--" Kindergartener: Are they chocolate chip cookies? Me: Uh... I'm not sure that it matters to the question. Kindergartener: It matters to ME.

My kindergartener who repeatedly asks if he's my favorite student, I told him he's in my top ten. He now asks, "But am I in your top one hundred?" because bless him, he thinks that would be better because one hundred is bigger than ten.

Bruh. The real way to get kids to stop using slang is for adults to start using it. That's cap. You don't even have to use the phrases correctly! Just vibe. It's giving.
