Dear Oak,
Penelope Rex is a character in a book we have at Rainbow School. Do you remember her? I was thinking about her today. In the Hello Goodbye Yard, all the children sat on one side of the Hello Goodbye Yard and every time poor Penelope Rex tried to sit next to someone, all the children moved away.
Penelope Rex tried to join the game of good guy bad guy, but none of the children would let Penelope be the good guy. She didn’t want to be the bad guy.
Some children decided to play with the unicorns and blocks. Penelope Rex loves unicorns. She especially loves rainbow unicorns. She especially loves one special rainbow unicorn. The children weren’t playing with the special rainbow unicorn. They had decided to keep the rainbow unicorn from Penelope.
Soon all the children were playing unicorns and blocks and keeping Penelope from getting to play with that one special rainbow unicorn that she loved. Penelope waited patiently for a turn, but they never gave her a turn. She wanted to play unicorns and blocks too and was using a lasso to catch unicorns.
The other children started throwing unicorns and blocks at Penelope. Penelope thought it was just part of her lasso game until BOOM! A unicorn hit her on the head. Ouch! Then one of the children used the toy they’d been using as a unicorn prod on Penelope. Ouch! Penelope started to cry. Poor Penelope!
Love,
Teacher Michelle
