Plate Celebration (Cheryl Bollish)
When you
have parent conferences give parents a red plastic plate and explain that they
should save it for when their child has a special accomplishment at school.

She said I should CELEBRATE!
"I'm proud of you," my teacher said.
"You can eat on this plate of red!"
