Link: http://gs4nj.org/giving-up-loneliness/
Monday Mirth
According to this article on Teachers' Lounge, " If you are a teacher, you know that sometimes you say things in the classroom that you never anticipated saying." They asked teachers from across the country to submit what has been the most unusual thing they have said in the classroom.
The first 10 are below. (Stay tuned for the next 10 next Monday)
1. “Do not disturb reading group unless you’re bleeding, you’re vomiting, or you’re on fire!” ~Terri O.
2. “Please don’t bring me presents from the toilet.” ~Jenn M.
3. “Stop eating your shoe.” ~Arlene Y.
4. “Go back and pick up your hair.” ~Kathie B.
5. “You did a great job putting on your belt. Now go back in the bathroom and turn your pants around.” ~Sara S.
6. “Quit stuffing mulch down your pants!” ~ Becky K.
7. “I don’t care that you are having fun, you are not allowed to poke people with pencils.” ~Kris W.
8. “We don’t pee on our friends.” ~Sara M.
9. “Put the fake boob on my desk and leave it alone.” ~Tracy B.
10. “Just because your finger fits in your nose doesn’t mean you should put it there.” ~Erin M.
