Impressively Honest!

Something heartwarming happened in my last class one Friday. As I walked into a second grade room, the teacher was telling a little girl that she'd have to change her behavior clip because of something that had just happened at lunch. While I was putting up a poster in preparation for my class, a DIFFERENT girl walked up to the teacher's desk and said quietly, "I want to be honest with you. She didn't break that rule. I did." The teacher had the two girls correct the behavior clips, and I was able to tell the girl who had told the truth how much I appreciated her courage. It was SO refreshing to see that this little child had listened to her conscience and done the right thing, even though it got her in trouble. I admire her, and I'm sure her teacher does, too! But the MOST important thing is that I know she's proud of HERSELF!
