This Is The Best Day Of My Life Because I Learned What Apostrophe Does

When second graders just don't feel like getting out of bed in the morning to play word finds and read "Iguana", they find means of cheering each other up. Mahkaylah struggled with the word "where" time and time again, while Amara just didn't want to roll the hard consonant dice. Deshawn had a gold-star attitude even after a dice-throwing casualty that landed "cl" right on his forehead. Of course, what better way to boost spirits than to serenade Amara with Dido.
"Amara, what's wrong? It's not so bad. Seriously. It's not so bad, it's not so baaaad. OhhhOHHOHHH It's not so baaad Amara!"

And you know what?
It wasn't so bad.

I so love that you're working with the littles. And re-learning important grammar.
