Okay, so this isn't a kindergartenism, but it was a funny story a second grade teacher shared the other day in the lounge:
A second grade class was in the computer lab and the librarian was showing them a website about animals. There were multiple animals to click on and the librarian asked the class which animal she should click on. A student blurts out "A fricken elephant!" The librarian scolds the student for using the word "fricken" and then the second grade teacher pulls the student out into the hallway to talk to him. After scolding the student again for blurting out and using an inappropriate word in school, she asks the student why he did it (this student is usually a really well-behaved kid). With a worried look on his face, the student replies "I meant to say African elephant!!" Haha!

I have not been doing a good job of writing down the latest kindergartenisms! Or for keeping this updated for that matter...
Kindergartenism #31:
Me (working one-on-one with students): "Alright, we're done Oscar. Can you get Shelby next?"
Oscar (skipping down the hallway): "YES!! I get to get the girl I'm going to marry!!"
Kindergartenism #32:
Me: "Can you get Ella next?"
Josh (rolls his eyes): "Oh great."
Me: "What's the matter?"
Josh: "Ella is my arch enemy!"
Me: "Well, I think you can handle telling her to come out into the hallway."
Well it's been a couple weeks since I last updated. I'll try my best to update the last few weeks of my life.
Mike and I are just friends at this point. I don't see it being anything other than that. And I'm actually okay with that. We've become pretty good friends over the last few months and I've just been enjoying that. He interviewed for a job in Green Bay that went pretty well, so it's a possibility he may be moving in the near future. He doesn't want to move so he's going to try to still look for something around Milwaukee, but he may eventually have to go where the jobs are. I've been trying to process in my head and heart where I'm at and how I'm feeling about everything. I honestly am feeling okay with where things are at. With the possibility of a move for Mike, I'm thankful we never got into a relationship. I'm not ready for anything long-distance...that's not what I want right now. And while I've enjoyed hanging out with him as friends, there are little things about him that I'm unsure about in terms of someone I want to date. So, for now, I'm having fun being his friend.
My job is going well. It's getting to the point in the year where the kids are restless and crankier, so it's been stressful at times. I found out a few weeks ago that there is a 2nd grade teacher at my school that is retiring after this year. So, I told my principal that I'm interested in her position and asked him to observe me teach sometime. I have a pretty good foot in the door for this position, but they have to post the opening to the entire district and I'll have to interview for it along with everyone else interested. But my principal will do the hiring, so I have a good leg-up.
I'll try to be better about keeping this updated!

Kindergartenism #29:
Logan (in art class at 2:30 pm): "It's 8:00...it's almost time to go!"
Kindergartenism #30:
Lauren (in art class): "Miss Hansen, can you write 'picture by Lauren W. Art Class 2010' in cursive?"
Me: "Sure. Why?"
Lauren: "I want my picture to be in a museum someday! It has to be in cursive because adults are going to read it."
