Funny...

Our school is full of ESL students, which can sometimes result in a some funny stories...

Student A (doing timed computer activity): I did it in 20 seconds.
Student B: I bet I can do better... yep... I did it 19 seconds. I won. Now try to win me!
Student A: I think you mean, "Now try to beat me..."

6th grade student writing sample that I saw in the hallway: He was borned with no limbs.


A few other funny stories...

I've mentioned before about how Mike's students think he's SO hairy and they love to pet his leg hair, or pull on strands of it to see his skin pull up. One time, a little first grader was petting his leg hair and said, "You have so much FUR!!!"

The other day I struck up a conversation with a foreigner while eating lunch under the parking garage (instead of the school cafeteria). He complimented me on my excellent English skills, and was a bit embarassed later on to hear that I'm actually American. When he found out I am a teacher at the school down the street, he immediately assumed that I teach English, to which again, I blew his mind when I told him that I actually teach Spanish. Needless to say, you can't judge a book by it's cover!
