One of the smartest kids in my class Brady was fiddling through his art box one day and grabbed his scissors. We didn't need scissors and where he sits he is not in my direct line of sight for some reason beyond me he placed the scissors in his mouth. I got a quick glance and all I saw were scissors in his mouth and wide eyes. I gasped and made a horrified face and managed to say in a calm strict tone "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?". The scissors flew out of his mouth and the tears began to roll. I had literally thought he had cut his tongue or something but instead it was my expression that made him cry and I heard the words "I'm sorry! I will never do that again Mr. Bax" about 10 times before the end of the day.

ReplyDeleteAndy,
ReplyDeleteI love it! Nothing can get those first graders feeling more remorseful then a glare of disappointment! Your face and tone must have been perfect. Well done Andy.
