F2F Class Notes (Tony)

READING:

James was feeling blue, with all these strangers around him and no way to get back to mom before supper. He was really in a pickle, but he always saw the glass as half full. So instead of sulking and being sad, he decided to make the best of it. He befriended these odd new fellows, and they set out on their adventure together.
