Classroom Comedy: Kids ARE the darndest things! :)

Well, the students are back.  And up to their usual fun and funny stuff:)  You gotta love a job that provides you with non-stop laughs.

The Background:  We are currently studying Lewis and Clark and their journey.  We have discussued important aspects of their journey.  We have used symbollism to make connections to those aspects.

I made a box that they had to pull items out of.  They couldn’t see in the box.  They had to be brave.  We talked about how that mirrored Lewis and Clark.

One of the items in the box was a fake flower.  I asked what it might represent.  They said nature, plants, newly discovered plants, the edible nuts and berries they ate to sustain them on their journey, and trees.  Big trees. 

I asked why big trees were so important to their journey.

The Laugh:  One of my students promptly yelled out “For bathrooms.”
