Clark loves school but, alas, like many students new to school, he is a little exuberant. For Clark that means shouting "school is awesome" while everyone else is trying to read quietly and it means bellowing "recess rocks" when the other kids are trying to play carefully. He is too loud and too wild. The other kids began to stay away from him.
Clark's teacher gave him some good advice. "Sometimes the rule is stay cool."
That was not an easy thing for Clark to do until he realized that in order to help him remember he could make a rhyme. So the next time Clark wanted to bounce out of his seat he told himself, "When teacher's talking, don't go walking". And it worked..... most of the time!
