Friday Funnies

I haven't had a Friday Funny in a while!

Today we were doing a salt water experiment. We had to write out the scientific method, starting with a question, research, hypothesis, etc.

I did this lesson with 2 classes. These were my favorites:
~Miss Cremer, we live in the middle of Kansas, how are we going to get salt water?

Me: Class, what does a hypothesis always start with?
Most of the class: IF!
One child: H!

Friday Funny

Earlier this week we had a class meeting. Someone complimented a girl about how she always cares about people and tries to cheer everyone up.  She started crying. We were all wondering why…

When it was her turn, she gave a very heartfelt “speech” about how everyone is special, they have someone who loves them, and even if you don’t feel like it, she cares about everyone around her.

Needless to say we were all in tears, with the exception of one student, who said, “I want to cry, but my eyes are constipated!”

April Fools Funny!

  My former students thought it would be funny to play a prank on me today. They had been trying all day. Finally at 2:00- I was out of my room and came back to my whole desk destroyed and chairs and tables flipped over.
   I couldn't let them get away with it, so I teamed up with the principal and secretary. Had them all called to the office with office referral slips. The principal told them they had cracked my brand new iPad screen, and I was bringing it up for them to see as evidence. They were nearly in tears, when they found out they "broke" something. I walked in and asked if they had money to pay for it... they responded, "No." I responded with an, "April Fools!" Don't mess with Miss Cremer! :)

They then had their teacher email their parents and tell them they got in trouble and needed to bring the form signed back tomorrow.

It has been a while since I have done a Friday Funny. I've kinda had a rough group of kiddos and have had to use my "teacher voice" a lot.

This week was Kindness week at school. I made an effort to be kind, listen more, and have a little more patience.  In turn, I was able to laugh a little more!

We were learning about stars.
Me- What are stars made of?
Kid- Farts
Me- Not appropriate!
Kid- Well, they are made out of gas!

Friday Funny

We were reading and a kid wasn't following along. I called on him and he didn't know where we were.  I told him where we were, but he was upset that he didn't know where we were. He started reading, and couldn't finish the sentence because he was crying.

"It's just I can't see through the tears!"

Friday Funny

It was a rough week in Miss Cremer's Class. As a kid put it- "She lost her top, but it was our fault."

Check out this bad boy I confiscated. 

You really don't want to mess with me now! ;) 

Friday Funny- Wildwood

I spent 2 nights, and 3 days with the 6th graders at Wildwood, an outdoor education camp.  We had a great time and PERFECT weather! I had to settle for PB&J and be tortured by frogs, but other than that, it was fun!

            

During a night hike (8:00pm), with one flashlight, these were some of my favorite quotes: 

"This is the worst $140 I have ever spent!" 

"I don't care if it is 10:30 at night, I need to call my dad and have him come get me" 

"I want my mommmmy!!"

"Miss Cremer, don't move, guard the stairs!"

Tuesday -Not So Funny- on Friday

Tuesday was a rough day. Here is a recap of what happened BEFORE 10:40!

My morning started with a practice lockdown.  During the lock down a kid got kicked, which prompted an evacuation of my room. We had class in the hall for a bit, but were distracted by another class having an A+PAAC lesson (Active learning).  At this point my practicum student shows up to observe, he found out what the real world was like.

We moved to the courtyard where we scrunched 8 kids around each of the 3 tables.  We were squished, so I told them they could spread out. Once the lesson was finished, they had a workbook page to finish. I told them they could spread out.  One of the students sat down in the dirt and upset a bee hive. At this point the principal walked to the courtyard to tell me I could go back into my room. The kid came up to me casually, and said, "Miss C, I got stung." I sent him to the nurse, lined up the rest of the class and headed back to the classroom.

Right when we got to the classroom, the announcements called us for bus safety.  We went to the bus, and as we were evacuating the bus, the kids found a skull and a rotting dead animal! We headed back to our room, where we were observed by another person!!!!

Not included in the story, what happened after 10:40...
- lesson taught by practicum student with his professor observing him
- A+PAAC lesson in my room
- Fighting over bracelets
- 3 think sheets
- glow sticks for a birthday
- school psych having to play mediator between 2 students

YES, ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ONE DAY! Not sure if my practicum student still wants to be a teacher! :)

Friday Funnies- Cologne

Yesterday morning, I was greeted by a 5th grade boy covered in cologne.  It started with a report: 

"Miss Cremer, her nose is burning, because it smells so bad. Its making her have asthma!"

So I had a little talk about smelling good and wearing deodorant, but not smelling too good and spraying the whole bottle of cologne.  The comments I got back were pretty good. 

"It smells like the perfume isle at Hy-Vee in here!"

"I've been wearing deodorant since I was 7, so I have experience with that kind of stuff!"

Friday Funny- Gymnastics

Apparently the new cool thing to do is do GYMNASTICS in the bathroom. Yes, you heard that right. Cartwheels and splits on the bathroom floor! GROSS!

Friday Funny

School is back in session and I have some Friday Funnies for you!

My class has 25 children, the most I have ever had!

We were doing a measurement scavenger hunt and they had to find items that were different lengths.  One of my kiddos came up and said, "Look, Miss Cremer, my belly is exactly 1 meter around!"

Friday Funny

Kid- Can I just change my name to Chris?
Me- If I call you Chris will you do your work?
Kid- There is that show Everybody Hates Chris.

Friday Funny

When I told a kid to please be quiet, he responded, "sorry ---- is not available. Please leave a message and I will get back to you. "

I responded, you can go to the safe seat and write me an apology letter. This is what I got.

Friday Funnies

A kid was throwing paper into the trash, from his desk, across the room. I told him to stop. He replied, "Good luck, you just ruined my dreams of becoming a NBA player!"

Friday Funnies

Meet Chuck. My kids from last year thought it would be funny to give this to me. He sat in my room for a day, and my current kids couldn't stand him.  I told them he was watching. By the end of the day Chuck disappeared. Chuck is still lost. I think he may be in the trash!

Friday Funnies

I got this note from 2 of my girls. They wrote it to persuade me to give them nap time at school. I am very proud of their persuasive and opinion skills they have learned this year!

"My opinion is we should have a nap time because of us growing kids.  We have a lot of homework. We need sleep...."

"Do you ever feel tired of working so hard, because you are the best teacher ever? Well, thats how we feel..."

"And if we get a nap we wouldn't be so grumpy and annoying. You are already the greatest teacher ever, but if you let us take a nap, you would be history.  Thank you very much for reading our letter..."

Friday Funnies

Have you heard of Corn-dogging? This is the new prank to play on your friends in 5th grade. Throw it in with a tomato fight, and you have a lunch time office visit!

I had never heard of it, but laughed when they said they just got "corn-dogged."

Corn-dogging for those of you who don't know, is grabbing someones shoulders and kneeing them in the butt. I'm not sure where it came from, but they are all doing it!

Friday Funny

Miss Cremer, you haven't worn any KU stuff this week. Not even your Jayhawk necklace you always wear.

She's right. Jayhawk depression has set in.

Friday Funny

Since I'm fat like Santa, I take naps.  (Shaking belly)

Friday Funnies

I told the kids to sit back down in their OWN seats about 5 times. They were not listening. Then one of my kids said...

She's getting on our tails, because she is a squirrel. That's what squirrels do.

This is really funny to me because of this squirrel hair do:

Oops, I guess I lost track of days with all of these snow days!
