Responsibility, Celebrated

posted Thursday August 25th, 2011

Funny how things happen. I wrote that last post before I took a good look at the fridge.

Sophie’s third grade teacher does something that I absolultely love. She has a pouch on the wall and slips of paper on a shelf beneath. Students are asked to fill one out in honor of a classmate who has displayed exemplary behavior.

You would think someone gave Sophie an Academy Award, she was that excited when she told me about how the teacher emptied the pouch and pulled out a slip (she called it a “certificate”) with her name on it.

And for being responsible, of all things! How about that?

I’m not sure what “resposid” means, but I’ll take it.
