I was demonstrating how to make an entry into a math journal today when I made a mistake. I reach into my desk and grabbed a white-out tape dispenser. The kids were watching in fascination as I "erased" the mistake.
Jonah: What's that!?
Aspen: Duh. It's wipe-out tape.
Jonah: Wipe-out tape?
Aspen: Yeah, it wipes out your mistakes.

We were working with our kindergarten reading buddies today. A few of them are Spanish speakers and the third-graders were trying to teach them a few English words.
Mrs. B: (to a kindie student) Playa es "beach" en ingles.
Kindie: (slowly and clearly) BEEEEEECH.
Juan: (listening in) That sounds almost like a naughty word.
I used to work for a very well-known entertainment company that runs amusement parks (among other things) and I like to share the "secrets" of their most famous park with the students.
Mrs. B: Okay, you know when you walk by the candy store and you smell all that great candy? That isn't real. They pump that scent into the air so you'll want to go in and buy candy from them.
Jake: (incredulously) THOSE LIARS!

I was talking with another teacher today when, from down the hall, a squeaky child's insistent voice was heard...
Squeaky child: Mrs. B! Mrs. B! Helloooooooooooo! Mrs. Beeeeeeeeeee!
Mrs. B: Hi, sweetie!
Squeaky child: (to the adult beside her, as though she has proven a major point) See! I KNOW people!

Sparrow: (loudly with a great flourish of arms) I heeeeeeeeere!
