I had to keep kids like that restrained and in order in my classroom. It was very hard because they were actually funny and saw so much of myself in them.
You’ve done it now, Carl. Saving this cartoon to color won’t be enough; granddaughter Brittany will want me to make paper airplanes that fly. Blessings – Maxi

Yes, it was a very helpful daily hour. In one semester I learned over one-hundred different ways to make paper airplanes. 🙂
