Kids Say the Darndest Things...

Today I'm gonna talk about random funny things that my students have done over the past month or so...

On the first day, I had the students write a few of their favorite things, and some students surprised me with their answers:

What is your hobby?
    Student 1. Date
    Student 2. Girl
    Student 3. ゴロゴロ in room ("gorogoro" in room, which means idling about...or perhaps the appropriate English equivalent is "chillaxing" lol)

Favorite Place in Komagane:

    Student 4:  TOIRE (which is "toilet" in English)  (I don't EVEN wanna know what this guy eats on a daily basis hahaha)

Favorite Subject:
    Student 5:  No thank you  (.......huh....? lol)
    Student 6:  英語 ("eigo", which means "English" in Japanese. Yes, they wrote this in Japanese. *sigh*)

Some students were very creative with their answers, even if they just wanted to get a laugh out of me lol Mission accomplished, kids, mission accomplished...

I already wrote about the students at my visit school who were calling me pretty and beautiful in class...and apart from this, I get some random girls squealing about my hair! However, I had a new experience today in class regarding all the attention I sometimes get! You probably already saw on my Facebook, but, when asked "What are 3 things that make you happy?", one of my students replied "Love, sweets, and YOU make me happy!!!" I was flattered and gave him 2 stamps for the good, grammatical answer, but told him I had a boyfriend and he and his friends looked disappointed. LOL At least they're enthusiastic. I hope I can make exciting lessons for them in the future to keep that creativity alive! :)

Also, when I was teaching my third year students about giving advice, I gave an example "You should NOT punch that bear!" My students really liked the word "punch" from then on out.  Simple to say, but it has a funny enough meaning, I guess! Anyways, I each gave them situation role plays to act out with their fellow students. They were to ask their classmates for advice for a particular problem that I wrote on their worksheet. For example, one of the students had "There is an angry bear in my room! What should I do?". One of my students told her "You should punch the bear!!" LOL I really hope none of my students decide to go try and beat up some bears in the woods one day... xD

Anyways, if anything else interesting comes up, I'll let you guys know! Thanks for reading!
