Building selfconfidence from "summary" of First Grade, Here I Come! by Tony Johnston
When you walk into first grade, your pockets are empty. Empty of friends. Empty of knowing what to do. Empty of what you know. But your teacher hands you a pencil. You hold it in your hand, and it feels right. You draw a line on a piece of paper. It is a good line. You draw another line. It is a good line. You are good at drawing lines. You are good at school. You are good at first grade.
You learn to read. You learn to write. You learn to count. You learn to listen. You learn to speak. You learn to raise your hand. You learn to stand up straight. You learn to walk in a line. You are good at these things. You are good at school. You are good at first grade.
You look around the room. You see other kids. Some of them know more than you. Some of them know less. Some of them have more friends. Some of them have fewer. But you know that you are good at drawing lines. You are good at school. You are good at first grade.
You raise your hand. You answer a question. You get it right. Your teacher smiles. You smile. You feel good. You feel proud. You feel smart. You are good at school. You are good at first grade.
You make a friend. You share a snack. You help someone tie their shoe. You say please and thank you. You listen when someone talks. You stand up for yourself. You stand up for others. You are a good friend. You are good at school. You are good at first grade.
You walk out of the classroom. You feel different. You feel taller. You feel stronger. You feel smarter. You feel more confident. You feel like you can do anything. You are good at school. You are good at first grade.
