This blog attempts to document some of the more interesting moments of my life as a kindergarten & first grade teacher. A note regarding the name: Silent appreciation, as used in my classroom, is a hand movement used to eliminate the need for noisy clapping. When silently appreciating, children raise their hands in the air and quickly rotate their wrists around. It's quite a triumphant move.
Talking about Martin Luther King, L.'s sister asked, "Was he a king?"

Our school's director just had a baby with her wife. After telling this to my class, the following conversation took place:
S: A girl can't marry a girl.
Everyone: Yes they can!!!!!
J: Well in some countries they can’t but they’re trying to get the law changed.
L: I’m going to marry a boy. My brother!
Everyone: You can’t marry a relative!!!
K: Yes you can, but you have to get an operation.
