When the children misbehave, I think it is important for them to take responsibility for their actions. Last Tuesday (right before our Thanksgiving break) the students were pretty rowdy during a presentation by our school's counselor. Today, I talked with them about it and suggested that they should apologize for their behavior. When the counselor walked in...

Justin: (standing abruptly) Mrs. S? We'd like to say sorry for acting like wild animals last week. We were just excited about Thanksgiving.

Kaylee: Yeah! And pie! We're sorry.
