Freddy the Unfixer

Freddy must have gotten the wrong message during his tender years when he decided to take his tools for the first time and proceeded to remove screws throughout the room. This story is actually a true occurrence when I was teaching second grade at a local school district. This was the first time he experienced unraveling screws using his phillip's screwdriver. Children at this age are very curious and enjoy exploring new things that just may fall onto their laps. This is exactly what happened to Freddy when he proceeded to use his tools. Sometimes when this happens we need to assess ourselves about what we did that made him do such a thing and then go back and correct it so that it doesn't happen again. In most cases, the correctional phase should always be full of learning and positive.
