Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Turtleback School & Library) | Judith Viorst

My thrift store shopping was fruitful ~ paper, stamps, ink, and a book for my personal collection (I often refer to my work days as terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days!) When my son stopped at the hardware, I perused the postcard selection. #LitsyLove 💌

I do believe this is one of the best books ever written. Some days are just like that. And I did not wake up with gum in my hair- so that‘s a bonus.

KathyWheeler I read this book to my children repeatedly and never even got tired of it. 😊 2y

Jerdencon One of my all time faves! 2y

This sweet RF book will be sure to be a favorite for a long time. Follow Alexander as he has a far from ordinary day that helps us all relate to those horrible, no good days.

I would use this as a SR for my students. By reading this book we can discover and facilitate personal coping skills and strategies for our own bad days (9.2)UDL.
For My EL‘s I would do a before reading preview by asking guided questions and review questions for after our reading. A great resource for SR activities is

In this classic RF story, a young boy has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. If it could go wrong, it did! He believes that the solution to all of his problems is to move to Australia. A great award-winning (ALA Notable Children's Book, Reading Rainbow Book, Georgia Children's Picture Storybook Award, Indie's Choice Book Award)book that children, as well as adults, can relate to.

TabathaA This would be best received using RA, using UDL principles 3.2 (highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships); as well as 2.5 (illustrate through multiple media). Use along with EL 11 (place language in meaningful context) and 15 (reinforce the key ideas you present again and again). 3y

TabathaA Lesson plan resource: https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/alexander-and-...
Fun Fact: It is rumored that Alexander wants to go to Timbuktu in the Australian and New Zealand printings of this book. #UCFLAE3414SP21 3y

Vanvlieta Wow! I love this. I think your UDL principals are perfectly inline with this book! Thanks for sharing(: 3y

Karissacurrier I enjoyed looking through the lesson plan you provided! I feel that the UDL principles you chose go along very well with the content of this book. The EL strategies you chose would be a great way to ensure your students are fully engaged with the text. 3y

MFlowers That truly is a fun fact! I think your EL 11 strategy was a great choice with the lesson plan you provided. What a great resource. Thank you! 3y

So, I‘ve had the most Alexander-y of Alexander days, BUT...then the mail came and it brought me a letter from my dearest friend and pen pal. I posted a letter to you earlier today, but I‘ll reply directly to this one, too. 😘

Mitch 😘I advise spending the hidden under duvets until it passes! Take care lovely. 3y

How I‘ve been feeling all day due to ALL my 2300+ podcast episodes being undownloaded from my iTunes on my laptop today. Short story I‘ve had to unsubscribe and then resubscribe to numerous shows and redownloaded probably at least 1000 podcast episodes, not all of which are done at the moment. And to boot a number of them still hv the effing files on my laptop.... 🤬🤯😡😤

melissajayne After dinner I‘m going to just download what I need for the week and download the rest them tomorrow 3y

BookishMarginalia 😱😱😱 3y

BookmarkTavern Ugh! I sympathize completely! Good luck redownloading! 3y

melissajayne @ozma.of.oz it‘s slowly getting there.... 3y

This is one of my favorite books in the entire world. And today, in honor of my own terrible, horrible no good very bad day I am looking at property in Australia, eating popcorn, drinking diet Dr Pepper and watching Pride and Prejudice. All of them. Maybe Emma too. Tomorrow is a new day.

LiteraryinLawrence Sounds like a great antidote to a rotten day. Hope it helps! 3y

mcipher SUCH a wonderful book. I should totally own a copy. I hope your excellent nesting techniques help!! 3y

Jas16 Tomorrow is a new day and I hope it is a much better one for you. 3y

Chrissyreadit @LiteraryinLititz @mcipher @Jas16 thanks friends!! I love the perspective and energy a new day brings. Your cheering on also made my heart smile. 3y

Just a Bad Day | Mercer Mayer

Well, after 12 hours in the emergency room, my daughter and I are back home. They ruled out her gall bladder. Now they think she either has covid (have to wait 3 or 4 days for results) or hepatitis (they don't do the tests for that in the e.r., have to wait for her covid test to come back so we can go to gastro for that), or, worse yet, both of those. Sigh. Having children isn't for sissies.
Thanks for the well wishes!

Megabooks I‘m so sorry they weren‘t able to help more! I hope she doesn‘t have Covid. I‘ve been through/am still going through the gastro mill. I know I have celiac and EOE, but I still have other problems even after aggressively treating those. Best of luck to you and her!!! 4y

CocoReads Oh no! Sending best wishes for a negative covid test and hopes that they find out what it is fairly quickly 4y

GingerAntics Oh my, I‘m not sure which is worse. I‘d say I hope she has neither, but it‘s almost worse not knowing what‘s wrong. I just hope she‘s feeling better soon, whatever it is. I hope you can both get some sleep, too. 4y

BiblioLitten How is she feeling now? I hope all is well💕 4y

Traci1 @BiblioLitten we ended up back in the hospital the very same night (I took her to a peds one about 30 minutes away that time). We spent a week in the hospital, and she ended up having her gall bladder removed. We are back home now, and she's feeling much better. 😊 4y

BiblioLitten That‘s good to hear. 😊 4y
