A Snow Day

Everytime it is predicted that we will have a bad storm, I remember a comment made by one of my 10 year old students.

It was a Tuesday and the school district had just made an announcement that school was going to be closed tomorrow because they say there's going to be bad weather tomorrow and all should stay off the road. A little girl then turned to me and commented, "Who are they? You always ask us to give names when we tell stories. Why didn't the principal say a name?"

I laughed but it made me realize how important it is that I do what I say because little ears are listening and little eyes are watching. One's example is surely more important than one's speeches.
