Stubborn child vs. Stubborn teacher

Pre-k teacher: "pick a white, pink, purple or red pipe cleaner"
Student: "blue!"
Teacher: "I said the choices were pink, purple or red."
Student, fists on her hips: "and I said BLUE!"

The teacher won though!!

Cheesy Moment

Not really a teaching "blurp," but a good teaching moment anyway... During snack, a preschooler came up with this, all on his own... I was quite impressed...

A "Honest Abe mistake..."

This goes to show that adults have their pearl moments too...

Student quizzing instructors during a game of "20 Questions..."

Student: Clue #1: I am a person... Clue #2: I was born in 1947...
Instructor: ABRAHAM LINCOLN!!

After that, there was a big roar of laughter on the Instructors' part! Good thing we have a pretty good sense of humor!
Enough time wasted, time to head to a history class... ;)

Oh deer!...

Kindergartener #1: I'm thinking of something...
Kindergartener #2: Is it alive?
Kindergartener #1: No
Kindergartener #3: A deer!
Teacher: Something NOT alive!
Kindergartener #3 (referring to the aforemetioned deer): He IS dead. Someone went and killed it.

I know, it is a kinda sad post, but not all is golden coming from children...
