ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten You Are Not My Friend But I Miss You | A story about the importance of sharing and give-and-take
Hello, friends! How are you today? Have you been reading lots of books? It’s so nice to have you here with us for storytime. Today, we’re going to read a fun book called “You Are Not My Friend, But I Miss You” by Danielle Kirk. Are you ready to find out what happens in the story? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there were two friends playing together. But then, something happened. One friend took the other friend’s ball and didn’t give it back. Oh no! That made the other friend feel sad and upset. Friends are supposed to share, right?
The friend who lost the ball decided to play alone. “I will find a new friend,” they thought. But playing alone wasn’t as much fun as they hoped. They started to miss their friend. Do you know why? Because playing with friends is always more fun!
Then, the friend had a great idea! They thought, “Maybe I can be a better friend and share too.” So, they asked their friend to come back and play. They decided to share the ball and play together. Yay! Now they were both happy and having fun.
Isn’t it nice to share with friends? Sharing makes everyone happy, and it’s a great way to show you care. Remember, you always have enough to share with your friends!
We hope you enjoyed the story “You Are Not My Friend, But I Miss You.” Remember to be kind and share with your friends. Thanks for reading with us today. Take care, and we’ll see you next time for more fun stories. Bye-bye!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How are you doing today? Have you gone back to school? Are you reading lots of books on your own, or do you need some help?
Well, thanks for coming by and sitting down to read with us. Today we have “You Are Not My Friend, But I Miss You” by Danielle Kirk. Before we get started, if you’d like a copy of this book, the links are in the description below.
Let’s check out what this book is all about.
“You are not my friend, not anymore. You took my ball just like that. You wouldn’t give my ball back; you wouldn’t share. I had to grab it when you weren’t looking. Now I have my ball, and you cannot play with it anymore. You cannot play with me. Friends are supposed to share.
I will find a new friend to play with. This is so much fun… or maybe it isn’t. I know I will play by myself. I will be my own friend. I will share with myself. Ouch! Still, I remember you when I’m all by myself.
Everybody needs a friend to share with. Maybe I didn’t share; maybe I wasn’t a great friend, but I can be. Will you come and play with me? Catch!
Now that looks a lot more fun than playing all by yourself, right? Sharing is always caring. You always have enough to share, right?
