Classroom Comedy: Kids ARE the darndest things! :)

The Background:  Our school recently started a newspaper.  It is being run by parents and the literacy coach at our school is the liason.  The students meet during lunch one day a week and after school one day a week.  The turn out was phenomenal.  In my class alone, 16 out of 20 students are on the “staff.”  They had over 70 children sign up, and show up!

It seems like the “in” thing to do.  Everyone is doing it.  They are reporting on things going on around the school and people in the building.

The moms that started this and help run it are mostly from my room, so I have a lot of contact with them.  One told me of this conversation that took place between her and one of the students.

The Laugh: 

The mom said, “Okay, so you are going to get your article written over the weekend and turn it to me on Monday.”

The student said, “We have to write articles?”
