The Hartzell Visit
Just before the school year ended we witnessed the tornado that is Jake, Ruby, and Thomas. We had a fire, went to the beach, and they slept in a bounce house.

Life in the Forest
I asked the kids to write down and draw what life in the forest would look like. The youngest one drew a picture of a Giraffe break-dancing. Apparently that happens in the forest all the time.

Cure for Aids
The following took place at the bike rack after school.
Student: Mr. B, is there a cure for aids?
Me: Well, it can be managed, but there is no official cure.
Student: Oh (his face grew somber as he turned away)
Me: Why do you ask?
Student: Because I have aids.
( I genuinely begin to freak out a bit. I prepare to have a serious conversation with a 5th grader who possibly has aids.)
Me: Who told you that you have aids?
Student: No one, I just know.
(Oh really.)
Me: So how do you JUST know?
Student: Well, I've been sick for three years.
Me: How sick?
Student: My nose is always stuffy.
Me: Sounds like aids, you should probably google it when you get home.

What 9/11 really means
Mr. B: Raise your hand if you know what 9/11 is.
Kindergartner puts the hand up and has a look of infinite wisdom, so I must inquire.
Kindergartner: 9/11 is when you get in the spaceship and it takes you to the moon. You go there and see what is there, aliens and stuff. Then you get back in and the ship brings you back.
Mr. B: Really, so that is what 9/11 means?
Kindergartner nods his head to reassure me.

Rainbow Sandwich
So the task was to Draw your face and label your nose, ears, eyes and mouth. Once finished you had to use your sense of smell and draw something that smelled good to eat.
Student: Here is my nose and my eyes and my mouth right there. What do I do now?
Me: Now go and draw something that smells good to eat.
He brings me this:
Me: You were supposed to draw something that smells good.
Student: I did, it is a rainbow sandwich and it is going to taste so good in my mouth.
I cannot argue with that logic.
