"I'm a hundred kinds of crazy..." (John Mayer)

More conversations with first grade ESL students, yahoo!

Me: "Who can think of a word that begins with the letter 'A'?"
Class: "Aporn!" (Apron) "Ant-horn!" (Author) "Afweel!" (Not sure... maybe Waffle?) "Elephant!" "Crocodillo!" (My favorite) "Ate!" "Teacher! Teacher! Teacher! Teacher! I am going to tell you somefing! I know a number, and it's eight!"

And my personal favorite:
Me: "We missed you at our last class, Simeon. Where were you?"
Silas: "At home. I had the throwing-ups."

These kids make me smile.
