Justin’s bad day finally ended, and he woke up excited on Thanksgiving Day. ![]() Now, all he had to take home was a note to his parents. But he sure wished he could have an award, too. She was his best friend, and it might hurt her feelings if he wasn’t happy for her. “And the last one,” the teacher announced, “is Jessie.”Įveryone clapped as Jessie walked up to receive her certificate. Bentley called the names of the kids who did especially well during the week. “But I’m not thankful for today-that’s for sure.”Īfter lunch, the class worked on math and art. I can’t wait for tomorrow! I could eat a whole pie all by myself.” That would be much nicer to take home instead of a bad note saying I was noisy in class. “This is a rotten day,” he said, making a face. The bread was soggy, and the meat and lettuce were smooshy. He closed his eyes and bit into his sandwich. “Oh well,” said Justin grumpily, “I’m hungry enough to eat anything now.” The bread was perfect and fluffy-it wasn’t squashed at all. Jessie reached into her own bag and pulled out a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “One of your books must have smashed it.” “Eww!” said Jessie, staring at Justin’s sandwich. But when he reached in for his sandwich, he found that it had been squished. When it was finally lunchtime, Justin hurriedly opened his lunch bag. Justin sighed-this was turning out to be a bad day.

Are you okay?” Suddenly Justin found himself on the floor with his chair tipped over-crash! He jumped at the pencil so fast that his chair started to tip. It was perched on the edge ready to drop when Justin lurched forward to catch it. Justin sat up straight and listened as best he could, until his pencil started to roll across his desk. Justin daydreamed about turkey, corn, cranberry sauce-and pies! Today was the last day of school before Thanksgiving, and his family would celebrate with a delicious turkey dinner. He wished they would hurry up so he could eat lunch. Justin looked at the numbers on the big clock in his school classroom.
