Made Me Wonder

We got a call from Austin's teacher tonight. She said she wanted to talk to us about something that happened at school today. I was thinking, "Oh boy...", wondering what he did. She then went on to explain, saying she was getting choked up even thinking about it again.

She said they have a new boy in class, which Austin had told me. She told how this morning she called the kids to come sit on the carpet. The new boy--who's a little guy (Austin said probably shorter than Lauren)--was shuffling his feet, and his teeth were chattering, walked slowly to the carpet. Austin and 2 other boys made a spot for him, and said, "Abran, Abran! Sit here!" She said she was so pleased with them for making him feel welcome.

He looks welcoming, huh?

And how they went on to make sure he knew where the restroom is and then played with him at recess. She said, "Enjoy him!", and "Give him a hug. I don't see many kids being kind," and how seeing this made her so happy. =)
