A Student's Prayer
by Anonymous
Now I lay me down to rest.
I pray I pass tomorrow's test.
If I should die before I wake,
that's one less test
I'll have to take.

| WHAT IS
READING? *Reading is to take letters, form words, and make sentences. *Almost every time I read I learn a new word and its meaning. *A silent activity, your eyes go through a page decoding the strange shapes we now know as letters into sounds that represent meanings of things, things and names. *Reading is something that can increase your mind, and give you a great imagination. *To read is to fill the soul with knowledge. If you're blind, to read is to see. *Reading is a type of language. It can take you anyplace you want to go. *To me reading is adventurous, because you learn new things.

Math What kind of tree does a math teacher climb? Geometry ! What do you have to know to get top grades in geometry? All the angles ! What kind of pliers do you use in arithmetic? Multipliers ! Jackie stood quietly as her father examined her report card. "What is this 45 in math?" asked her father. "I think that's the size of the class," she said quickly! If I had five coconuts and I gave you three, how many would I have left ? I don't know. Why not ? In our school we do all our arithmetic in apples and oranges |
Geography What birds are found in Portugal ? Portu-geese ! Name three famous poles ? What is an island ? Teacher: What can you tell me about the Dead
Sea? What are the small rivers that run into Teacher: What are the Great Plains ? Teacher: Where is the English Channel ? Teacher: Why does the statue of liberty stand
in New York harbour ? |
| History Teacher: Do you know the 20th President of
the United States ? Abraham Lincoln had a very hard childhood, he had to walk 7 miles to school everyday. Well he should have got up earlier and caught the school bus like everyone else ! When crossing the Delaware River why did
George Washington stand up in the boat ? What did they do at the Boston Tea Party ? Teacher: What did they wear at the
Boston Tea Party ? Teacher: Where was the Declaration of
Independance signed ? Wish I had been born 1000 years ago. Why is that? Just think of all the history that I wouldn't have to learn ! Teacher: Who was the biggest thief in What did Noah do for a job ? He was an arkitecht! What kind of lights did Noah use for the ark ? Floodlights ! Did they play tennis in ancient Egypt ? Yes, the bible tells how Joseph served in Pharoah's court ! The Spanish explorers went round the world in a galleon. How many galleons did they get to the mile ! Teacher: What did Paul Revere say when
he got on his horse? |
![]() ![]() Science When I die, I'm going to leave my brain to science. That's nice. Every little bit helps. TEACHER: Why did the germ cross the
microscope? TEACHER: Name a conductor of electricity. TEACHER: How did Edison's invention of
electricity affect society? What is the difference between ammonia and pneumonia? Ammonia comes in bottles, pneumonia comes in chests. |
Music PUPIL (after singing a song horribly): How
did you like my execution? I didn't say your voice was out of this world I said it was unearthly. You have a fine voice. Don't spoil it by singing. Of course your voice is pure. You strain it every time you sing. MUSIC TEACHER: Now, please sing the scale. Why did Fred bring a ladder to the assembly program? The music teacher asked him to sing higher. PUPIL (after playing the piano): I've never
had a lesson in my life and I can prove it. The class laughed when I sat down at the piano with my hands tied behind my back. They didn't know I played by ear. |
We raise our hands to speak. We sit quietly in our seats.
We use voices soft and sweet.
We keep our places tidy and neat.
We are helpful, friendly, and fair.
We take turns and willingly share.

![]() Kids are wonderful! Leave it to our little ones to give us a different perspective on everyday life. The kindergarten teacher was showing her class an encyclopedia page picturing several national flags. She pointed to the American flag and asked, "What flag is this?" A little girl called out, "That's the flag of our country." "Very good," the teacher said. "And what is the name of our country?" 'Tis of thee," the girl said confidently. |
