???? Fun Story Time: David Gets in Trouble

Hello, my reading friends! I’m Ani, and I’m so happy to read with you today. Let’s say a big hello to Amelia, Elijah, Adam, Thagius, Andy, Sean, and Mrs. Alvar’s class. Hi, everyone!

Meet David!

Today, we’re going to read about our friend David. He’s full of energy and always up to something. The book is called “David Gets in Trouble” by David Shannon. If you have the book, grab it so we can read together!

David’s Adventures

When David gets into trouble, he often says things like, “No, it’s not my fault,” or “I didn’t mean to.” Sometimes he says, “It was an accident,” or “Do I have to?”

David has lots of excuses! He might say, “My dog ate my homework,” or “I was hungry.” He even says, “Wow, it slipped!”

Learning to Be Honest

But then, David’s dad says, “Excuse me, it wasn’t me.” David realizes he should tell the truth. He says, “Yes, it was me. I’m sorry. I love you, Mom.”

David feels much better after telling the truth. Being honest can be hard, but it makes us feel good inside.

Why Telling the Truth is Important

Telling the truth is important because it helps us feel happy and light. When we are honest, we don’t have to worry about feeling guilty.

  • Have you ever been in a situation where you made a mistake like David? How did it feel, and what did you do about it?
  • Why do you think David felt better after telling the truth? Can you think of a time when being honest made you feel good?
  • What are some ways we can remind ourselves to be honest, even when it’s hard? Can you think of someone who helps you remember to be truthful?
  1. Truthful Tales: Gather in a circle and take turns sharing a short story about a time when you told the truth, even if it was hard. How did it make you feel afterward? Encourage your friends by clapping after each story. This activity helps us understand that being honest can make us feel proud and happy.

  2. Honesty Hunt: Go on a mini scavenger hunt around the classroom or at home. Look for items that remind you of honesty, like a mirror (reflecting the truth) or a book (stories that teach lessons). Share with the group why each item makes you think of honesty. This helps us see how honesty is a part of our everyday lives.

  3. Role-Playing Fun: With a partner, act out a scene where one person has to decide whether to tell the truth. For example, pretending to accidentally spill water on a drawing. Discuss how each choice makes you feel and what the best decision might be. This helps us practice making honest choices in a fun way.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

“David Gets in Trouble” by David Shannon.

When David gets in trouble, he always says, “No, it’s not my fault. I didn’t mean to. It was an accident. Do I have to?”

“David, wait! My dog ate my homework. I couldn’t help it; I was hungry. But she likes it! Wow, it slipped.”

But Dad says, “Excuse me, it wasn’t me.”

“Yes, it was me. I’m sorry. I love you, Mom.”

David felt really badly about lying to his mom, so he ended up telling her the truth, and it seemed like he felt a lot better afterwards.

Telling the truth can be hard sometimes, but it’s always better to be honest than to carry around the weight of a guilty conscience.
