Read Aloud Reflection – Wonder – 1

The read aloud reflection is the 1st in a series of posts about the book Wonder

 I think that August is a little bit uncomfortable at school especially with Julian there to tease and bully him. He wants to make friends but is hesitant because he is uncomfortable at school because of Julian. Julian is trying to be mean to August. I know this because when August told him what his favorite star wars character was Julian said “What about Darth Sidious?” August’s face is deformed and so is  Darth sidious’s. Also ingeneral he was mean to August during the school tour that August went on with him. My hole point here is that August doesn’t feel comfortable at school. I am curios to see what happens next.

The Time I Broke My Wrist

 

“Come on,” I told my friend, scratching my arm.  “It’s time for snack! You don’t want to miss it do you?”

“No way,” he said, jumping up and down ready to run.

We raced out of the classroom and ripped out our snacks from our lockers. We sat down together and and talked about recess. We told each other that we did not have a ball to play with, so we agreed to go and play on the monkey bars.

We ate our snack so fast that we did not even know that we were eating.

We were jumping up and down like jumping jellie beans looking for our teacher to call our class out for recess.We looked around and saw people talking and eating their snack slowly.

For a second I thought that I still had to have my  snack.

Finally our teacher called, ”Kindergarten friends eyes up,” and we repeated.

“Eyes up!”

She said, “My class line up at the door for recess my friend and I raced for the door to go out for recess.

She opened the door and we ran out like we didn’t have a mind! We raced out to the monkey bars with our heart pounding fast and when we got there we swung, and swung, and swung.

I got to the end and so did my friend. We looked around us and saw everybody laughing and playing games. I thought what could I do to make this more fun.

We decided to go backwards to make it more fun and then…WE BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER! I fell off the hard surface and went flying in the air!

Slightly before I fell on the ground I put my hands out to support the fall, but instead of it helping… it ruined my day.I fell on the ground with my hands twisted and tangled. It felt like my hands were little twigs about to snap. I fell on the ground and my wrist hurt a little, but not too much but my left wrist hurt a lot more than my right.

Sometimes at unexpected times it would sting inside the bone of my left wrist.

I slowly walked to the nurse with my head hanging low. I walked into the nurse’s office and I felt my left wrist sting again.

I squinted and ruffled my face together as I said,“Well, oh, well,” holding my left wrist.
