Continuity mistake: When TJ is in The Box, he lays down and puts his head on his baseball glove. Then when he gets up, he doesn't pick it up, but it's nowhere to be seen. Then a couple of shots later, it's back, and it's on the other end.
Factual error: At the end when Ms. Finster tells Randall to give her the names of the kids involved with the ball incident, she says to list them in alphabetical order. The first name Randall says is "Dettweiler, T.J." But "Blumberg, Mikey" would actually come before that, and given what we know of Randall, this isn't the kind of mistake he is likely to make.
The New Kid - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, as Gus' dad walks away, the lights on the ceiling are 3 tiles apart. However, while Gus is describing his "personal journey," the lights are two tiles apart.

The Legend of Big Kid - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when the gang is caged, right after Vince gives TJ the baseball card, TJ's facepaint turns from blue to red, then back to blue. (00:08:35)

Continuity mistake: When Vince's family is eating dinner, Chad's bow tie changes at least twice from red to black.
Other mistake: In the episode, "the peanut butter kid", he is always eating his sandwich and it always seems like he only took a bite out of it and sometimes it went all the way back to the top. How could that be, he couldn't be chewing the entire time.
Speedy, We Hardly Knew Ye - S1-E10
Factual error: Near the middle of this episode, Gretchen says hamsters don't hibernate. They do, it just depends on the time of year and if it's a wild hamster.
I Will Kick No More Forever - S1-E11
Other mistake: When the gang goes to visit Vince in his house, it shows Vince watching a video of a kickball game. But kids most definitely wouldn't be able to bring a video camera into school, and it most probably would be confiscated by Miss Finster.
The New Kid - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Gus' dad steps aside to reveal Gus behind him. Then, he says, "Well, my duty here is done. Mrs. Grotke, boys and girls," and then salutes them and walks away. He has moved back behind Gus. He had no time to move to that position.
Plot hole: Near the end, at the assembly, the old lady sitting on stage can't even lift the turkey. But about 90 seconds later, she's running away from the can pyramid. What a miraculous recovery.
Continuity mistake: After Mrs. Finster has her show of strength and is pulling Gus away, he still has the chains from the wheel on his arm. When the shot changes, the chains are gone.
The Great Jungle Gym Stand Off - S1-E21
Other mistake: When TJ says that he and the rest of the gang met at old rusty, it shows you a flashback and the kindergartners are wild, but they only became wild when Gus arrives later (as said in All Growed Down).
Suggested correction: It's not true. After Gus "changed" the kindergartners he was sent away from school.
This correction misses the point of the mistake. In "Recess: All Growed Down," when Gus moves to the school, the kindergartners are shown as "normal," but then Gus changes them to be wild, and they start to have torn clothes and paint on them. However, in the flashback scene in this episode, it shows the gang meeting on the first day (excluding Gus), and they have torn clothes and paint on them. This doesn't make sense because they only became that way when Gus moved to the school.
Revealing mistake: Right after TJ and friends are looking at the "thermometers" of cans, the Ashleys have at least 4 crates of cans that they bring in on forklifts. However, the end result is 4,362 cans for the Ashleys. This may seem kind of picky, but I think there was more cans than 4,362.
Suggested correction: This is literally just an assumption, and nothing else. 4,362 is a pretty huge number, and with the amount of cans that we see the Ashleys collect in the episode, combined with the amount of cans that they and the rest of Miss Furley's class collected off-screen, it is perfectly believable that Miss Furley's class would end up collecting that amount of cans.

Continuity mistake: When the gang is playing marbles, there are seven marbles in the ring, with three black ones on the left and four orange ones on the right. In the next shot, there is suddenly a green marble on the right side of the ring, with a black marble next to it.

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Quilty is filming Gretchen in front of the Kindergarten Area, Gretchen puts some candy in front of the door. When Gretchen runs away, the candy has vanished.

Continuity mistake: When the kids are fighting over the can at the celebration, the can keeps swapping between green and red between shots. There is also one shot where the can is red but turns green twice in two frames.
Revealing mistake: In the areas where the kids change the tape, when Mikey slides and Spinelli is swinging, they are both holding cameras. Who's filming them?
