The Unlucky Box of Lucky Charms

It's Thanksgiving! It's time to eat turkey and enjoy family and friend's fellowship. On this thanksgiving, I am thankful for many things, but I am extremely thankful for my little students! This is my first year teaching and I love it! So today I will include a story that is about one of my students and her box of Lucky Charms.

Once upon a time there was a box of Lucky Charms that went to ballet class two weeks in a row. It all started when one of the cute little girls in Miss Caroline’s ballet class, brought a box of Lucky Charms with her to school. Why she brought a box of Lucky Charms, is still a mystery to many. As Miss Caroline talked to the little girl at lunch, the little girl tried to shove the big box of Lucky Charms in her backpack. Miss Caroline offered to take the box of Lucky Charms to the classroom so she would not have to carry it around. Miss Caroline thought this would reduce the risk of the little girl forgetting the box somewhere. As the class began, everyone asked why Lucky Charms were in the class room and the box of Lucky Charms was given much attention. After class, however, the little girl was rushed out the door because she needed to get to the pickup line. Unfortunately, the box of Lucky Charms was forgotten. Now fast forward to the next week. At lunch the little girl waves and exclaims to her teacher, “Hi, Miss Caroline!” So the teacher walks over and sits in the seat next to her. They talk about her food. She opens her mouth and shows Miss Caroline her dessert. Then the little girl looks at the lost and found, which is located in front of us, and shockingly screams “My Lucky Charms!” So Miss Caroline asks the little girl if she would like for her to go get it. Of course, the little girl says “yes”. Now, Miss Caroline isn't very tall and it’s up high. So Miss Caroline asks, “Do you think I can reach it?” The little girl answers “yes,” again. As Miss Caroline walks over to the lost and found, sure enough, she could reach the box!  As Miss Caroline walked back towards the little girl, she exclaimed “I reached it!” In her confident, matter of fact little voice, the little girl excitedly proclaims, “I told you so!”  Then Miss Caroline leaves the little girl to check on some other students. However, the little girl approaches Miss Caroline a little later, asking if she’ll take her Lucky Charms to the classroom. So Miss Caroline takes it and tells her she will put it in a different spot where it’ll be easier for her to remember. At this point you should start seeing a pattern here. Yes, the Lucky Charms box was forgotten again! It is now sitting lonely on the top of the lost and found until after Thanksgiving Break. And that concludes the story of the unlucky box of Lucky Charms!
