Funny things kids say

So, I was in class the other day and a boy walked up to me and asked quite honestly, "Miss Carroll, are those natural gray highlights in your hair?" Well, I did intentionally overreact just a little bit. While it was funny, I must say, I have been noticing the gray hair much more since that comment. Ugh.

I think I really love the way kids will just ask you questions. Even in middle school they ask without thinking, but there is also an innocence that one can still observe. It is a unique age. I have an 8th grade class that has adopted the English Kindergarten class. I noticed the first day we went in that some of the behaviors remind me of the 7th and 8th graders I teach. :)

Please forgive my negligence in posting. I will make an effort to be better about it.
