Yesterday it was 8:30 am, everyone should be in the room by this point. I had a girl or two missing. One of these girls comes in exasperated because Megan would not come out of the bathroom stall. People were making fun of her polka dot outfit and she said, "Even a 3rd grader said something!" The friend came back again and said she still wouldn't come back. So the class got a speech letting them know that there would be serious consequences if anything mean is said about her outfit from anyone.
She finally came in and I gave her a blanket to wear around her shoulders. Finally she got the guts to take it off and come to my desk for a question on whatever they were working on. One of the other boys was standing with her and said as serious and sincere as you can get, "Megan, I really like your outfit today." She looked at him and said, "Thanks."
The rest of the day she looked good, or at least she just felt good.
