Reasons Why I love teaching little kids

1. While stretching and making a "rainbow"

Me: Girls, what colors are in your rainbows?
The girls: Blue, green, yellow, red
Me: Well, mine has sparkles
Girl: Well mine has a Unicorn leaping over the rainbow!
Another Girl: Mine is a regular rainbow with a pot of gold at the end



2. While pretending to be fairies:

Girl: Miss Chrissie, I know where fairies come from.
Me: Where?
Girl: A baby's first laugh


3.After my last class:

Girl: Bye Miss Chrissie!
Me: Bye! Have a great summer!
Girl: I love you!
Me: (started to cry)

4. In the beginning of class:

Me: Please say your name and how old you are
Girl: CatRabbit!

5. While getting ready for the Airplane Song:

Me: Girls, what flies in the sky and carries people?
Girl: tomatoes, raspberries, and strawberries

6: While stretching:

Me: Girls, what comes after the rain? (the answer is always a rainbow)
Girl that clings to me like a cat and never smiles: A puddle (then pouts lips)

7: Before class

Me: Hi! Look how big you have gotten!
Mom: Tell Miss Chrissie what you wear now
Boy: UNDERWEAR!

8: Before class
Me: Hi! I am Miss Chrissie
Boy: todayireachedupandtheniputmyhandoutandthesoapcameoutandicouldreachit!!!!!
(I have never seen someone so excited to receive soap)

9: While asking what the kids did this week:
Girl: MY FISH DIED AND WE HAD A FUNERAL AND IT WAS SO SO SAD
Me: ohhh sweetie, I am so sorry

Later I tried to give me condolences to her mom
Mom: What fish? Oh, you mean Pablo? That fish died 3 years ago
