Sam and Kate were worried about people in their town who did not have enough food to eat. They decided to do something about it. They asked their friends to help them. Twenty kids would come together to make thirty frozen egg casseroles. They were going to take them to the Food Bank in town, and the Food Bank would distribute them. Two grocery stores had donated the food they needed. The Community Center said they could use their large kitchen to make the egg casseroles. On Saturday moing in January, Sam, Kate, and their friends met at the Community Center. Kids grabbed a recipe card and started making an egg casserole. Kids had to wait on one another to gather the ingredients they needed. Kids bumped into each other as they worked on their own casserole. “Hey, everyone,” Kate said, “let’s try setting up an assembly line.” Everyone agreed that was a great idea. It took a few minutes to get organized. However, once they got started, it was much more efficient! Before long, all thirty egg casseroles were assembled and ready to be delivered to the Food Bank!

Jada couldn’t believe what had just happened. They were on their way home from dance practice, and she saw her dad do it. His phone buzzed, indicating he had just received a text. He had picked it up to read the message, and then started texting as he was driving. What happened next was terrifying. The driver in front of them suddenly hit the brakes, and Jada’s dad didn’t notice. Jada screamed. Her dad swerved to miss the car in the nick of time, but now they were in the ditch. Her dad tued to her in the back seat. “Jada, are you okay?” Jada sat there trembling. “I think so,” she said. “I am so sorry. I can’t believe I put your life at risk like that,” her dad replied. “I promise here and now that I will never pick up my phone while I am driving again!”

Josie was upset with herself. When she started the test, she was nervous that everything she had studied would slip from her mind. Therefore, she had only skimmed the directions. Because she did not read the directions thoroughly, she missed the fact that there was a second step to be completed for every question. When Mr. Baxter retued the test, Josie was shocked to see that she had eaed a failing grade on it. She answered every single question correctly but had simply failed to do the second task! This was the first time she had ever failed a test. Before Josie knew it, she was in tears. Josie’s teacher pulled her into the hall to console her. “Josie, don’t beat yourself up about this. It’s good that you care, but you need to remember that it’s just one test. You’re not going to fail the class because of your grade on this one test. Besides, I figure everyone has a bad day every now and then, so I always drop each student’s lowest score when figuring grades.” Josie brightened a bit. “Well, I guess I should be glad it happened in your class then. This will make me read the directions carefully from now on.”

Meredith was so excited. It was her birthday, and her grandma had just arrived with her gift. Her grandma had taken her shopping a week ago, to get some gift ideas, and she had picked out a new outfit that she was already excited to wear. “I hope you’re not disappointed with what I got you, Meredith,” her grandma said as she gave her the present, “but when I went back to get the outfit you picked out, there were none left in your size.” Meredith tried to hide the wave of disappointment that hit her. She unwrapped the gift and opened the box to reveal an outfit that was not at all her style. “Thank you, Grandma!” she said enthusiastically. Her grandma smiled widely, assuming Meredith’s thank you meant she loved the gift. “Oh, I’m so glad you like it!” she said. “You’ll see I have a gift receipt in there in case it doesn’t fit.” Meredith nodded and glanced at her mom. She could tell that her mom approved of the way she handled the situation.
