It happened on a few occasions last year that I arrived to tutor only to discover that my pupils were on a field trip. Grr! The next session I made a point of telling the children, all kindergarteners, that I had come and asked them where they had been. <br />"We was at the zoo," they said.<br />"The zoo! I wish you had told me you were going. I love the zoo."<br />"Maybe next time you could come with us."<br />"Maybe. But you have to tell me before you go. Otherwise I'll be sitting here all by myself again." I made a sad face.<br />"We're sorry Mrs. M. We'll tell you next time."<br />Maybe I couldn't change the grown-ups' perception of me, but I think the kids learned the value of communication.Melissa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761908203021606003noreply@blogger.com
