Santa and Jesus

Student: Is Santa and Jesus the same person?

Santa

I took some of my students to get a picture with Santa Claus... we passed the picture around class today (I wish I could post it here).

Student: That's not the real Santa.
Me: Yes it is!
Student: No, the real Santa is black.

Season's Greetings

Me: Raise your hand if you celebrate Kwanza.
Only one child raised his hand... the only white student out of my 22 students.


Taking a class picture with Santa
M: Ms. Major, can you hold my hand, Santa scares me.

Don't worry... not my student.

At recess a study comes running up to me holding his chest.

Student: Ms. Major, my brain is thumping.
Me: Your brain?
Student: Yes, by brain is thumping [points to heart]

One from a parent.

After a student was absent for four days, I called home to see what was up.

Me: I was just calling to check up on W.
W's Mother: He'll be at school tomorrow, he was unable to have a bal movement.

Dissin'

Student: M was checking me. She called me hard-knock.
Me: I have no idea what that means.


To check (v) - to make fun of, diss
hard-knock - some sort of diss

Calling someone "country" is also a diss.
