A Note for Mrs. Green
Dear Mrs. Green,
I need some help today.
I cannot find my favorite pencil.
It is bright shiny blue.
It has a big star eraser on the top.
I used it this morning.
I was sitting at the round red table.
I drew a yellow sun and a green tree.
Then I went to the rug for story time.
I think I left the pencil by the book bin.
Can you please look under the rug?
Maybe it rolled away on the floor.
Thank you for helping me.
From,
Leo
