Word set short story

Word set: Set 1: paper clips, principle, lunch box, swing, girl with a pink ribbon.

A little girl with a pink ribbon in her hair was entering her first day of kindergarten. She was so excited to be a big girl now. She knew that she would love going to school. She had a Disney Princess back pack and lunch box. As she entered her classroom she noticed that as she hung her back pack up she was missing something. Her lunch box! It was still at home. She was so excited about going to school when she was getting her back pack on she left her lunch box sitting on the steps by the door.

Tears started to fill her eyes because she knew her mom had to go and run some chores that morning so there was no way her mom could bring her lunch box right away. She just hoped that her teacher knew what to do.

As she walked over to her teacher’s desk she noticed that someone had knocked over a container of paper clips. So she decided to start picking them for her teacher. Her teacher noticed that she was picking up the paper clips and told thank you. The teacher told her that she had actually knocked over the paper clips herself but had not picked them up because of helping a little boy who was said to leave his mother.

The little girl with the pink ribbon told her teacher that she needed help also because she had forgot her lunch box and her mom was out running chores for the morning. Her teacher told her that after recess that morning then she would let her go to the principle’s office and call her mom.

So after the bell rang for recess the little girl waiting on a swing dragging her feet along the ground. She was so sad that she had to call her mom on the first day of school because she forgot something. As she heard the bell ring again to go back inside she looked up and saw her mom holding her lunch box in her hand. She gave her a big hug and told her mom thank you. She hurried back inside to finish her first day of school.

I like the word set idea. I'm envisioning Makayla with pink ribbons on her first day of Kindergarten.
