My First Day of SchoolToday was my first day of school. As I walked through the halls to recess and lunch everyone seemed to know someone but me. I sat on the grass alone at recess and watched everyone else have a good time. I also ate lunch alone. No one even noticed that I was new or lonely. My teacher, Ms. Preston was the only nice person at school. I don’t think I am going to like school.

MiceGood readers can tell the difference between factual and fictional information. Factual information is based on what is true and real. Fictional information is based on someone’s thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. Read the poem “Mice” by Rose Fyleman and the paragraph about mice taken from the encyclopedia and answer the questions below.
MiceI think mice are rather nice.
Their tails are long, their faces small, They haven’t any chins at all.
Their ears are pink, their teeth are white,They run about the house at night.
They nibble things they shouldn’t touch,And no one seems to like them much,
But I think mice are nice.
From The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition“name applied to numerous species of small rodents, often having soft gray or brown fur, long hairless tails, and large ears. The chief distinction between these animals and the variety of rodents called rats is in size: mice are usually smaller.”
