While going through old files on my computer, I came across a document with a bunch of old student quotes. I wanted to include them here so I could remember them.
***
5 or 6 months after the One Republic song "Too Late to Apologize" came out:
(One student bumps into another, clearly on purpose)
Ismael: Hey! You push-id me!
Leo: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Ismael: No! It's too late...to apologize!
Both: laugh
hysterically

While learning about sound waves:
Kenia: Miss, did you
know that they play music for cows to hear, so they will think it's their
babies crying and make more milk?
Edgar: (while dancing
and making "milking" motions)
Oh yeah, hace leche! Hace leche!
***
"Miss, my hypothesis is that science class will rule
today." -Saul
***
"Miss, your earrings are so lustrous." -Ismael
***
"Misth...itth time." -Eduardo (Said while peering in at me from the hallway, urging me to finish class so the students could switch back to homerooms. I had some trouble with pacing my first semester teaching.)
Rudy: "Aw miss...these girls know me too well...they know
that I got the money...that I got the STRENGTH [making bicep flexing motions]."
Edgar (student who struggled with making good choices): Miss, I don’t like Mondays.
Me: I know, it can be really hard to come back and get to work
after having fun all weekend…but I’m always happy to come back and see you
guys.
Edgar: No, I mean I don’t like Mondays because we have to go to
computers and we don’t get to do experiments!
Student: Miss, if I’m an orphan, you adopt me?
Me: Yes, of course!
Student: How about my twin? [this student did not have a twin]
While checking homework, I noticed that one student’s paper
began, “So Hitler was a shermy little man.”
Me: Shermy? What does
that mean?
Student: Schemey! He made up a
lot of schemes.
…Yeah, I bet spell check didn’t even catch that one.
Love you, Miss!
Just before Winter break:
It’s better to
give than to receive, Miss!
While discussing
what causes earthquakes:
Eddie: Maybe it’s not
really the plates moving around that causes earthquakes…maybe there are alien
scientists who study us like little germs, and when they move the slide, that’s
what moves us all around.
Me: Oh yeah...maybe...
Eddie: Yes, and then when
the scientists look at me on the slide, they’re like, “Hey! Who is that hot kid?!” And then all the
ladies run in the street, and they’re like, “Hey! Get out of my way! We want to get that hot guy!”
While looking at
an angel ornament that another student gave me:
Wow! This is so beautiful!
***
Miss, can’t we
just stay here? I’m feeling so
lethargic!
