Convertables & Camouflage

Here are some more humorous, inspirational and encouraging words from awesome TLG kids! Enjoy!


* So, we were playing a game at the end of class. The game was "Find the Peanut Butter Sand which" (the "sand whiches were bean bags). The teacher would hide the "sandwiches" around the gym as the kids counted. After most kids had found a "sand which," one of the 4yr olds had not found one. One yellow bean bag "sand which" was on a yellow mat. I told her to look in that direction and she saw it. 
"I tried to trick you by hiding it on the same color." I said.
"It was like camouflage!" She said with a huge smile.
Wow, I thought, that is one SMART Giggle Worm!

* The 4yr old Giggle Worms were sitting on the yellow wall and one girl was looking at me quite intently. I asked her if she was OK and she looked at me for a long time before speaking. With much certainty in her voice, she said,
"I think I want to be a Little Gym teacher when I grow up." :)

* A 5yr old boy said  to Teacher Katherine,
"Teacher Katherine, would you come ride in my car with me...in the summertime...with the top down?"
I think this Good Friend has a crush on Teacher Katherine! <3

* During Priority Enrollment we wear red shirts instead of our normal blue attire. Before trains, a Funny Bug asked me why I had on a red shirt. I gave him a simple explanation and this seemed to satisfy his 3yr old curiosity. Later, during stations, he said to me,
"You look better in blue."
You gotta love a 3yr old's brutal honesty!

* After line tumbling in my Flips grade school class, I told all the kids how proud I was of how hard they were working on their cartwheels. I made them all raise their arms in victory and say together,
"Go me!"
After their group self cheer was shouted out, one of the girls responded with,
"Go Teacher Monica!"
It made me feel like a champion!
