Wemberly Worried...and So Did Some First Graders!

Today we read the book Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes.



In the book, a young mouse worries about...everything!  She worries about cracks in the wall, the safety of the swings and slide at the playground, and if her parents will still be there when she wakes up each morning.  She worries about a tree falling on her house and snakes in the radiator...but her newest worry is school!  She's headed to school for the first time and has many worries!  But after she spends some time there with her mom, she makes a new friend and isn't worried any longer.  Each child in our classroom made a poster of Wemberly and wrote about Wemberly's worries.  Then each shared something they worry about, too.  The following are just a few of the beautiful portraits of Wemberly.  They're even better in person!  You'll find them on the wall at school next week!
