What can you say to him when he comes to school? YES! I am so proud of her for making the team, and she is so HAPPY!! She has really worked hard at practice, so she really deserves this. I hate when I forget stuff at home! It makes me mad at myself and scared that the teacher might be upset with me. I have three extra pencils. I'll share with him. Man, I know how I felt when I got a bad grade. I was mad at myself, and I knew that I might get in trouble at home. I think I will go over and encourage her, and see if I can help her figure out where she went wrong. Oh, man! I slipped one time on water as I was going to the bathroom. I was SO EMBARRASSED!! I think I will grab some tissues and go over and help him clean it up. My mom has never had surgery, but I remember how I felt when she went into the hospital to have my baby sister. I was so worried about her and was scared that something might happen. I think I will go over and check with my friend, and let her know if she needs to talk, I'm here. My little brother broke the clip to my iPad case. I was SO MAD and also kind of sad. I really liked being able to hold it a certain way when I would play games. I think I will go over and see there is a way we could fix it. Maybe it just needs superglue. I have never had to wear hand-me-downs, but I have been teased for my pants being too short. It makes me feel so sad and even mad. I think I will go ask the teacher if she can help him with some yarn or zip ties for his pants, and then I think I will go see if he wants to play at recess. Math is pretty easy for me, but I really struggle in reading. That makes me feel really helpless and sad. I think I will see if I can walk her through the problem step-by-step and just keep on encouraging her. Hey, I wonder if she can help me in reading! Gosh, I remember how I felt on the first day of school! I was SO SCARED! I didn't know anyone! It really made me happy when someone came over and just started talking to me. So, I think I'll do the same. I'll go over and introduce myself and welcome him to the class! I don't have a cell phone, but I remember how I felt when I got the video game I really wanted! I was so happy, and couldn't wait to try it out. I think I will congratulate her and wish her a happy birthday! I have never lost a loved one like that, but I know how much I love my grandma. It would make me really sad to know she couldn't be with me anymore. I think I will go sit with him and just be there for her. Maybe he might want to talk about it. I know Ryan REALLY needs his glasses to see the board, and I sit closer than he does. So, I think I'll ask the teacher to see if we can switch places for today.
