Surprise

As I walked into a class last Thursday, a short first-grader held up her arm and said,"Teacher, look!"

I was expecting to see a new pencil or eraser.

When I focused, I saw a tooth.

A tooth!

(This had not happened in a long time . . . I had forgotten about the possibility of kids removing parts of their mouths in our academy.)

This little girl then pulled down the right side of her mouth to show me exactly where the tooth cane from.

Shivers!

Homework: Pull your teeth out at home, not at English academy!
