Sharing is a very important skill for children to learn. It teaches children about compromise. It helps children make friends and play cooperatively. They can learn that by giving a favorite toy or object to others how to be giving and kind. It helps them socialize with their peers and learn to not think only of themselves. Ellie Waters often has play-dates with her school mates. Ellie is very good about sharing. Today she has a play-date with Gabby Hamilton. Gabby is not good about sharing. In fact, Gabby refuses to share. For Gabby it’s always, “Me, me, me.” No matter how many times Ellie says it’s her turn to play with the Darbie Doll, Gabby refuses to hand it over. Gabby is just so stingy. And, this upsets Ellie very much. Ellie loves Darbie and has been very fair about sharing her most prized toy with Gabby. But, Gabby just doesn’t care. Mr. Clown has been observing Gabby’s play patterns and behavior for a very long time. And, today, he has realized that Gabby is just never going to learn how to share—she just doesn’t want to. So, he’s decided to hammer his point home.

Not A Creature Was Stirring
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house… not a creature was stirring… not even a mouse…

Santa’s Little Helper
Santa Claus is very busy at this time of year. He has one night to deliver all those presents to all the children of the world. So, in the town of Green River, Mr. Clown has been helping Santa for years! And, often when delivering presents… he double-checks to make sure that the little boy or girl truly was nice all year long.

Don’t Be A Pottymouth
The halls of Green River Elementary are often filled with loud noises and rambunctious talking as the little children go from class to class, stopping at their lockers to switch books between classes. However, one thing that shouldn’t be among that noise and talking is foul vulgar language. When the little children use bad language, they make themselves sound poorly educated and disrespectful toward themselves and others. Bad words are meant for adults—and only in very special situations. However, Rich Thomason thinks it’s funny and makes him “cool” to use vulgar language. For weeks now Rich has been peppering his sentences with foul language, bombarding his classmates Omar and Fran with the bad words that flow forth so easily. Everyone has warned Rich, telling him that no one thinks it makes him cool or funny. But, Rich has his own ideas about bad language. And he keeps flapping his pottymouth constantly—finally bringing him to the attention of Mr. Clown. While Rich’s mom has attempted to use soap to wash his mouth out, Mr. Clown has a much better idea of how to handle the situation. After all, without a tongue, Rich can’t very well keep the ongoing foul flow from his pottymouth… can he?
