A Lesson
to Learn

Once upon a time
there was a happy
teacher and a beautiful,
and thoughtful teacher
assistant. The children
loved them both.

Each day the students
would work hard so
they could work on
the computer. These
students loved to work
on the computer.

But the teacher and the
beautiful and thoughtful
teacher assistant hated
when the students worked
on the computer.

Now you may think
this is strange because
students can learn many
things while working
on a computer.

But for some reason these
students always forgot to
raise their hands when
working on the computer
and each day would go
something like this.

"Teacher! I can't do this!!!"
screamed Amy (over and over
again)

"Teacher! I need
some help!!!" yelled
Eduardo (over and over
again)

"Why won't someone
help me!" yiped Steven
(over and over again)

"I really need some
help here!" shouted
DeAndre (over and
over again)

"What's going on here.
I can't fix this!" cried Larry
(over and over again)

"My computer won't
work!" exclaimed Lionell
(over and over again)

As you may have guessed
the teacher was ready to pull
her hair out. She didn't know
who to help first. She was
used to students who raised
their hands, took turns, and
waited patiently.

The teacher began to think
hard and so did the beautiful
and thoughtful assistant.

The teacher and the beautiful and
thoughtful assistant finally came up
with a brilliant idea. They would
ask the students who always raised
their hands in class to give them
some ideas.

And here is what
the students said.

Sergio said "I raise my hand
so the teacher will pick me."

Enrique said " I raise my hand so the
teacher can see me."

Atiqua said "I raise my hand because
I want the teacher to call on me."

Atiqua hid two hands in her picture
can you find them?

Tony said "The teacher should
not call on a student if he does
not raise his hand.

Remiko said "If you don't raise your
hand you might not be called on.

Jaudon said "If they don't raise their
hand they should not get on the
computer."

Destiny said "You should raise
your hand before you say something."

Tonisha said "They should lose
points off the back of their
point card if they don't raise
their hand.

Danny said "They shouldn't have
recess if they don't raise their hand
nicely."

The teacher was happy again because
now she had lots of ways to help teach
the kids to raise their hands and...she
would not have to buy a wig.
