i'm new so heres a little background. i worked for an after school program that taught science to elemantry schools. it was alot of fun but kids can blurt out the strangest things. feel free to add what ever you have heard a kid say.
this school was a religous school (i can remember what exactly) but very heavy on the teachings of God (used capitol to be respectful to those who follow). well in one class i was teaching color and said "no one can see color when the lights are out because you need light to make color" immediatly one child pops up with "God can!!!" the rest of them follow suite and go crazy saying he can do everything and the sort. i had a hard time moving on with the lesson after that....
my co-worker had a child in his class called Goldstar, that was his full first name. his sister was Beautystar...i sooo wanted to meet there parents.
my favorite of all time was when the lesson was on electricity. we got one of those genrators that looks like a big metal ball on a stick. we for one example we would put a small pile of pie tins on top of the ball and turn on the electricity. the pie tins would float off then fall to the ground. to make things fun i would wave a stick as this happened and called it magic so kids could blurt out it was electricity. one boy floored me.....he was all smiles "MAGIC DOESN'T EXIST JUST LIKE GOD!" the problem was i wanted to laugh so hard but i was the only adult there so i had to hold it in and stay in charge.
if i have any more i'll post them but these will forever be in my mind.
