120 (deliberately) broken pencils
50 times a day that someone tries to tattle
35 times a day that I ask, "What is your responsibility ___ (at morning meeting, at lunch, in line, during reading workshop)?"
12 classroom library books damaged beyond repair
2 seat sacks cut with scissors
5 nervous second graders who presented projects beautifully in front of the whole elementary school.
Some numbers count more than others.
Love this idea.What great use of craft. Your last line says it all. I would like to add: 1 invested, caring teacher making the best of each situation. :)
