"I hate library! It sucks!"

I might have expected this would happen some day.  My talents and awesomeness as a teacher might not measure up to a child's standards.  Little did I know I would only be in the 15th week of my new position before hearing these words from a disgruntled second-grader. . . In my younger years (like last week), I would have been horribly offended and extremely angry, but this time, I had to ask myself what I could do to make this boy's day better.  I didn't have a ready answer.  My dry lesson for the day certainly wasn't a hit with him, but I hoped he gleaned some small bit of knowledge.  I know I did.  I have a LOT to learn. . .
