JUNIE B., FIRST GRADER: BOSS OF LUNCH
By Barbara Park
Skill: story recall
This spunky first grader’s new lunchbox sparks a debate about “bought” and “brought” lunches. Then something very wonderful happens—Junie B. gets to be a cafeteria helper, complete with plastic mitts, a giant white apron, and a hair net. When she unintentionally causes her classmates to skip lunch, Junie wishes the day never happened. Maybe being the boss of cookies can sweeten her mood.
Help students recall story details with this fun worksheet.
About Lucy Salerno
I have been a resident of Fairfield for over 25 years and have 30 years’ teaching experience in California K – 6 schools. I have been a music teacher, band and choral director, elementary teacher in grades K – 6, a district level technology coordinator teaching, and an elementary school administrator. In 2011, my most recent school, Scandia Elementary, on Travis Air Force Base, was awarded the California Distinguished School Award for work and programs implemented under my watch. Because of my broad educational background, I know and understand what is needed in today's difficult educational environment. I have taught writing to children in numerous grades as a core subject as well as integrating writing into other curricula areas. I retired a few years ago from the Travis Unified School District, I love working with children, and am now dedicating my services and skills in support of your children. Through love and patience, I hope to understand a child's needs, meet them where they are, build self-confidence and develop a life-long love of learning.
