A Mislead Youth

This being my 4th year teaching kindergarten, you would think that I have tons of cute stories to tell. The sad thing is that they are so commonplace that I forget them by the end of the week. (Sad, I know!) Now that I have a blog I have a place to share those fun stories before I forget them. 
Earlier this week my class was practicing writing simple sentences. I was working through the sentence "We are at the zoo." and was asking for help from my class to spell the word "we". I called on one of my kids that is pretty smart and thought for sure the would easily be able to spell it. In the most serious face he spelled it "wii". Turns out that Nintendo is actually educational! Wow.


Then yesterday I overheard two of my kids talking about God. This is the conversation:
Girl: God is everywhere.
Boy: God lives above heaven.
Girl: No, he lives in heaven.
Me: You are right, God does live in heaven.
(Then the boy brought over a book with a map of the US, pointed to the word he saw above the US, and asked me what the name of that place is. I told him it is called Canada.)
Boy (to girl): God lives in Canada.
