If you read my post yesterday “Don’t Cry Over Spilled… Coffee and Broken Vases” then you know Demarco and what a sweet boy he is. Today, even more to add!!
He came to my classroom door this morning with a gift bag holding two glass vases (one clear and one purple) that he picked up from Walmart yesterday.
“I don’t know if these will replace the one from Peru, but I want to give you these.”
I gave him a hug and told him he was the sweetest kid ever! I told him that I loved these vases even more than the one from Peru and that I would keep them forever to remember Demarco and his excellent character.
Ugh. I love that kid.
welcome to writers block 
WOW! I hadn’t read yesterday’s post so I had to go read that. What a great kid! How kind he is! How lucky you are to have him in your class. You handled it so well – good for you! Sounds like it was a take a breath and count to 10 kind of moment. Just think about the lasting impression you made on that boy. Wow!

Lovely! What a great kid! He worked hard to repair his mistake, his misdeed – what a beautiful thing! If that is all he learns at school this year, his future is bright.
