Laughable Moments

My teacher was trying to get everyone lined up (there are 30 kids in our class and it's the second day, so it's rough) and was becoming frustrated with the kids because they were chatting and not following the line-up "rules."  She was saying something along the lines of, "I will take the quiet students to [wherever we were going]" and had tried making several similar statements.  One student walked up to her and said, "Mrs. ____, tomorrow I'm going to play soccer."

During a task titled "self-portraits," my teacher was modeling how to draw and what features are important for a self-portrait.  She had drawn an oval to represent her face (connected to a neck/shoulders) and asked, "what else do you think is important for a self-portrait?"  I'm sure she was looking for answers like, "eyes!" "lips!" "nose!" or whatever, but instead, the students were shouting things like, "pupils!" "a collar for your shirt!" and "a hair clip!"

Moments like these make it hard for me to keep my giggling to a minimum.
