Enjoy the Little Things

I had a kid walk into the room today when he was supposed to be in the library. I asked him if he forgot something knowing that he had forgotten his library book. He said yes and then asked me why I hole-punched the green dot for him (that just means he is a step above the easiest level of books). I told him that he had worked so hard that he had earned it. He thanked me with a surprised look on his face and I thanked him for working so hard. He thought for a little bit and replied "You're welcome!" You never know what's gonna brighten a kid's day and make them want to work hard for you until the little things happen. This is why I do what I do every day!
