Hey, Kids! Guess What?!

In my current job, I work with elementary students who need extra help in reading.  With only three weeks of class left, I thought it would be a good time to start telling the kids where I will be next school year.

After the Aww's and the Why? 's, the first graders were curious about my new school (much more than about the country it was in).  Both groups of first graders asked what the name of my new school was.  The answer was followed by peals of laughter, and one group decided "our school's name is better."  Apparently, the word "Frankfurt" is REALLY funny if you are seven.

The third graders had more comments:

N.L.:  "Is that near Vegas? I am going to Vegas."

J.M.:  "You know, you could adopt me."

S.T.:  "You're going across the OCEAN? That's going to take, like, three days!"

  1. Haha, aw, cute drawing! I think you should teach them some German words before you leave. They would probably really love that! Although, maybe not the words I teach on my blog, lol.

    That's a great idea, Lindsey! You're right about not using the ones on your blog--no use in getting fired so close to the end!!! ;)
