the things kids say

i wish i could create a blog for the funny things my kiddos say.

we are beginning our social studies on the american revolution. i began talking about george washington, explaining who he was and why he was important. we talked about him being on our currency (since we are learning that in math, as well).

i refer to him as president washington several times throughout my introduction.

a little girl raises her hand and says, "ms. harmon, when was denzel washington president?"

i couldn't help but laugh.

on friday, we talked about the boston tea party. before we began discussion, i had them color a page in their class book. as i was walking around, i overheard a conversation that went like this,

"hmmm ... the boston tea party. i've never had boston tea, but i've had arizona tea. i wonder if it's the same thing?"

:)

I LOVE HOW THEY THINK.

giving myself credit
