Things my students say..

Schools been out for a month now and I am really starting to miss my kiddies. I went through my blog drafts and found one that I started and never posted. I may have teared up remembering how much my students made me laugh. So here is the last "Things my students say" until next year :)


CW: Would you mind if I aksed you, what exactly is tapiocca?

Me: Did you only have doritos for lunch?
JE: Heck yeah!
CK2: Mrs Merkley this is the 21st century! People do stuff like that!

Me: If you are very perceptive you might be able to tell how people are feeling just by the look on their face. What would you say if you came into class and I looked super sad?
CW: I would say like.. Hey, how is your day..? .. bad..?

CK2: Why is she making such a big deal of it?
Me: She's being biased.
CK2: What? You mean.. she likes both men and women?

BS: You smell like cotton candy. Cotton candy and happiness.
Me: What does happiness smell like?
BS: Cotton candy.
Me: So I smell like happiness and happiness?
BS: I just tried to compliment you and now you're confusing me.

CK1: Can you help me with home work after school?
Me: I'm sorry, I can't. I have a doctor's appointment.
CK2: Why? Are you pregnant?
Me: No I'm not pregnant.
CK1: Oh my gosh that is exactly what a pregnant woman would say!
CK2: You are pregnant!!
Me: Guys I am seriously not pregnant.
CK1: This is so cool! You are gonna have a baby and it can come to the end of the year party and it will just be running around.
Me: Do you know how long it takes to have a baby?
CK1: Well I thought I did until you asked me that.

There's a group of kids talking in the corner during group work and I can tell they aren't doing the assignment
Me: Guys what are you talking about?
All 5 of them: Dirty Mexicans.
They are so honest sometimes..

I got a lot of random letters and notes and drawings the last few days of school. Here are a few, spelling errors included haha.

CK2: Dear Mrs Merkley, ok so this is Chase and I have some stuff to say ok so wait you are my teacher right ok, you are teaching us this year and I think you should move up to 9th grade and teach us all again next year and if you arent are teacher I would be died an so if you dies I would die. You now this is a joke right?

BS: Dear Mrs Merkley, Mrs Merkley I freaking like you but as a friend. You are my friend. You are so funny and I like how you talk in weird voices sometimes its really funny. I will you were in most of my classes so we could talk and hang out. Still you are my favorite teacher by far. And I hope you switch to 9th grade next year cause ur my favorite.

CW: Dear Mrs Merkley, You are my favorite teacher. I like when you sit behind me in Mr Shaws class even tho it means I am in trouble. Thanks for the time you signed that blocuk of wood I had. I dislike Calle and Brooke cuz they are mean in Mr Shaws class. I am always hungry in your classes but you wont let us eet and when I get in trouble bye you I get scarred cuz your eyes open wide and you look scary and that is my leter to you Mrs Graff or Merkley.
