Thursday at 1st grade lunch the students received popsicles for November birthdays. They had thick white paper so you cant see the color inside. Our friend Nash got upset because he didn't get the color he wanted and walked away. Mind you, Nash just got new glasses. So I was talking to Nash and I told him maybe we can see if Mr Russ can help us find his color in the packaging, but it was really hard to see inside them without opening. And Nash goes, "Well maybe I can give him my glasses so he can see better!" HAHA..But his friend didn't want his and worked out Nash got his color!! :) Happy Monday.
Thanks to Victoria Miller for sharing this story!!!
