So, maybe you shouldn't threaten children by telling them if they don't get their work done they won't be allowed to go home....but, with permission, I did :) this ended with sobbing because he thought he would never get to go home. He didn't know his mom was down stairs volunteering. When all the kids had left the room, he broke down in huge tears 'I just wanna go home'. I decided it was best to have him finish his work with mom in sight. Poor kid, he really believed he was never going home. Come on, I'm only asking for 5 sentences. Luckily ,Mom is OK with me threatening her child. I had to laugh :) On a positive note, he got his letter done, and I got a big hug. I'm going to miss my kids over the summer, but only after some well deserved rest. It's true....teachers wouldn't survive without a summer break. We'd be even more crazy!! Age not the good kind.
