First week of school with my fifth-graders.
Get-to-know-you activities can elicit unique answers.
Mrs. D: How many siblings do you have?
5th-grader: Am I supposed to count myself?
Mrs. D: Are you your own brother?
5th-grader: No. [Pause.] But my conscience is.
On a student's worksheet:
Question: What do you want to study this year?
5th-grader's answer: Sppelling
Mrs. D: What's your favorite movie?
5th-grader: Breakfast Club.
Mrs. D: Breakfast Club? Well, that's a classic.
5th-grader [airily]: It's only eighties.
Mrs. D: What's your favorite TV show?
5th-grader [innocent drawl]: Duck Dah-nisty an' Law 'n' Or-dur.
Mrs. D: What's your favorite food?
5th-grader [big glasses, serious/deliberate]: First of all, lasgana, and second of all -- um, I don't know if you guys are going to think this is disgusting -- but, hotdogs dipped in applesauce.
