What happens in books, stays in books

Me: "Class, lets talk about what happened in our classroom novel yesterday." Class: (Total silence...) Me: "C'mon guys, what are your thoughts?" Cody: "No offense Mrs. Walker, but what happens in books, stays in books." Gotta love the versatility of the Vegas motto....

Fun Size

Me, "Edwin, you're going to play Sweeper today." (Edwin begins to pick up grass and put it into a pile and uses his leg to move the pile.) Me, "Edwin, whatcha doin?" "I'm bein a sweeper miss!" Me, "Caleb, you are always on the ground, you don't see Manuel on the ground." Caleb, "That's because Manuel looks like the great wall of China, I'm fun size!"

Science Rockets

While warming up for our game the boy's couldn't get the star drill together so Caleb yells, "It's not science rockets guys!" So close Caleb, so close... Then after the game we discussed watching a soccer movie before our team pictures, and each boy began to state their family's special dish they would like to bring, when one says in ALL seriousness, "Oh, can I bring Tequila?"

Creating Space

Boy's soccer quote of the day: After the boy defending Edwin refused to step away from him, Edwin's reponse was, "Fine, I have swine flu and I contaminate you!" I thought that was a pretty creative way of creating space!

TV PILOT

Won our 1st game today 4-0 AND got new quotes for my tv pilot/best seller. 1st, I walked outside & saw my team sittin in the shade of the building--nowhere near the field; I ask,"Why are you guys sittin in the shade?" Edwin answers, "Cause it's cold outside Miss." (I left that one alone...) But then Caleb asks, "Am I legible to play today?" (This time I didn't even try to hide my amusement!)
