It wasn't hard to find opportunities for kindness today; hungry teenagers bombarded my classroom at the end of the day with one question- " Got anything to eat?" I know by now that I have to keep a special cabinet of snacks for my daughter and her friends. When I go to the grocery store, those "buy one get one free" offers help me stock my private shelf just for such a time as this. Several kids filtered in and out of my room, each with a granola bar or a handful of crackers. They smiled or waved as they left. I love seeing them at the end of the day. It helps me to remember that even though they are often taller than me, they still need that small bit of reassurance that there is a place to go , food to eat, and someone who cares.
