Lilly loved school. She loved the pointy pencils. She loved the squeaky chalk. And she loved the way her boots went clickety-clickety-click down the long, shiny hallways.
Lilly loved the privacy of her very own desk. (Mine!)
She loved the fish sticks and chocolate milk every Friday in the lunchroom. (Straws make everything taste better!)
And, most of all, she loved her teacher, Mr. Slinger. (Smells a flower and hands it to him, bashfully, for you!)
Mr. Slinger was as sharp as a tack. He wore artistic shirts. He wore glasses on a chain around his neck. And he wore a different colored tie for each day of the week.
“Wow,” said Lilly. That was just about all she could say, “Wow.”

There is nothing better than a great teacher, loving school, and some brand new accessories for elementary student Lilly. But along with all of these great things, it can be hard to remember to follow the rules and show respect when we need to.
