This morning we finished the book, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes. The main character, Lilly, loves her teacher, Mr. Slinger, and brings in her new plastic purse to share with the teacher and class. Lilly can not stop playing with the purse and gets the purse taken away by Mr.Slinger. This makes her mad so she decides to draw a not-so nice picture of Mr. Slinger and puts it in his school bag. Lilly starts to feel guilty about this on her way home and writes a story of apology to give Mr. Slinger the next day. Mr. Slinger forgives Lilly and throws away the not-so nice picture from the day before. The story is a great example of our character trait for May, forgiveness.
