Overheard at Quatama Elementary

Just a few of the recent moments that remind me why I love working with kiddos:

Teacher: "I'm thinking of an animal with a long tail that likes to swing from tree to tree."

1st grader: "A pony!"

Teacher: "I'm thinking of an animal that is long and green, has big teeth and lives in rivers or swamps."

1st grader: "A rooster!"

Teacher: "The farmer is holding a pitchfork. Do you know what a pitchfork is used for?"

Kinder kid: "They're gonna eat some really big pitches!"

After being shown a picture of a potato, a kinder kid: "I love kopatos!!!"

2nd grade boy looked at me and demanded: "Why are you always smiling???"

Me: "Because I'm happy." I smiled.

Boy: "See--just like that!"
