Conversation at School Today...

Setting/Synopsis: 5 kids and Mrs. Bland sitting around a small table during Guided Reading Group reading a magazine article about fossils

Mrs. Bland: Paleontologists learn a lot about animals by just looking at their fossils. Like the dinosaurs for example...

Girl #1: Did you know dinosaurs were the first living things to walk the earth?

Boy #1: Nu-uh. Jesus was first! My dad told me so.

Girl #2: You're both wrong. Monkeys were first!!

Mrs. Bland (while glancing at her watch): Oh, look at that. We're out of time. Time to switch groups! Good discussion today kids!

Big sigh. I love my job! Kids are so funny.

You need to keep a book of all the funny things you hear in the classroom...you'll probably have a NY Time's best seller before you know it!)
