While on the hunt for ‘relevant images to embed into my blog’ I came across these cute little cartoons. It’s rediculous, but so true! It’s crazy to listen to children use all these technological terms so nonchalantly. At this rate parents, and teachers alike, someday are going to have to carry around a pocket-sized Internet Dictionary in order to hold any sort of meaningful conversation.
On the topic of students, kids do say some hysterical things. This site had a really funny idea for teachers… to keep journals of amusing things their students have written in papers!
-The future of “I give” is “I take.”
-The parts of speech are lungs and air.
-The spinal column is a long bunch of bones. The head sits on the top and you sit on the bottom.
-The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosquitoes.
What a great way to keep yourself grounded in the classroom. Of course, you wouldn’t want to keep record of who said what, but I think it’s a good idea to find humor in the little things. You really do have to read what else these kids said!
All the techno-garble kids can say can, and probably will, send my head spinning into a terrible headache — so it will be especially important to keep in mind that laughter is the best medicine.
