Emotional

The movie we showed the students for the early release day yesterday was Coco. We had some curriculum connection activities for them to do as they watched, which my group did dutifully and well. When they were finished, they could make themselves comfortable and simply enjoy the show, and so the last 15 minutes of the film found a group of three 11-year-old boys lying on the floor in front of the interactive whiteboard, riveted to the climax and resolution of the story.

As the credits rolled, they sat up and began punching each other on the shoulders.

"Who's cutting onions in here?" one of them asked.

"Dude, are you crying?" his friend replied, wiping his own eyes.

"I'm not crying, you're crying!" said the third.
