Mr. Mundorf's Class

My friend Carmen confided in me that her parents are getting divorced. She is very sad about their decision. I want to be a good friend to her, but I’m not sure what to say. Do you have any advice?

My mom asked me to watch my younger brother while she ran a quick errand. Two of my friends stopped by and want to play video games. I’m not supposed to have friends over when my mom’s not home. If they leave before she gets home, she will never know. What should I do?

Our class wastes so much paper each year! In science class, we learned that paper is one of the most common trash items. So we’ve decided to use both sides of our paper and then recycle it. Earth Day is just around the corner. What are some other things we can do in our classroom to help protect the environment?

My brother, Kevin, has a favorite sports jersey, which he wears often. It has the name of his favorite basketball player—LeBron James—on the back. Kevin let me borrow the shirt, and I accidentally spilled grape juice on it and now it’s stained. I am afraid to tell him because I think he will be upset. He trusted me with his shirt. What should I do?
