Character Connections

Wow! Could these little guys use some instruction in Character Education!  They obviously did not go to school at Davis Elementary!

At the beginning of the story, Wendall and Floyd obviously did not show respect for learning and punctuality because they were late to school the first 3 days.  They could not be trusted to use self-control to go directly to school without getting distracted and off course. They did not accept the responsibility of getting to school on time and were not accountable for their actions.  Although their stories were very creative, they lacked an understanding of the difference between fantasy and reality, which resulted in a lack of honesty when questioned by their teacher.  The boys did, however, show incredible creativity, great initiative, and perseverance in trying to find new ways to get to school every day.  They were very self-reliant, never asking for help or advice to solve their problem of persistent tardiness.  Hopefully, they will soon learn that Character Counts!
