I will miss my mom when I'm at school Each week I get to go to school 5 days in a row! My mom brings me to school each day and walks me to my classroom. Sometimes I feel upset because my mom needs to leave for work and will have a tantrum. I do not help to put my things away or say goodbye to my mom before she leaves. This makes my mom worried I don't want to be at school and my teachers worry too. Instead of having a tantrum I need to talk to my mom and tell her how I am feeling when she leaves for work and I have to stay at school. My mom loves me and she will miss me so I can give her a hug... And say "I love You!" I need to help put my things away - I know the routine! I will wave goodbye say "See you later!" so that I can go and have fun in my classroom! This makes my mom happy to know I'm having fun with all my friends and teachers! I know that when school is over my mom will pick me up at the bus stop and I can tell her all about my day - and how much I missed her!
