After reading a book called "Life in the Ocean", a student comes up to me.
Her: "Mr. Graham! I think my grandma went to Atlantis!"
Me: "Oh? Why do you think that?"
Her: "Wait, what does my shirt say?"
Me: "Niagara Falls."
Her: "Oh. She went there! And bought me this shirt!"

Kids say the darndest things, 2013
Two things that make me chuckle today:
-during our morning analogy ( map : cap :: ? : ? ), we discussed rhyming words. Rowen quite innocently came up with "map is to cap as lap is to crap". Totally correct, of course, and apparently kindergartners don't know that "crap" is a naughty word, because no one giggled.
-after lunch, Makaila was quite concerned because she had some "dark bus" stuck on her shoe. I was confused for a moment because she rides the bus home after school, but when she helpfully explained, "like, the small wood pieces" the fact that she meant "bark dust" became more apparent.
