Miss Cheery, Iris and Walter's teacher, is out sick. The class gets its first substitute ever...and it's Iris's grandpa! The principal suggests Iris be his special helper which makes Iris thrilled. When Grandpa is back a second day, things are not as fun for Iris. He picks other children to help which makes her mad. They close the day with ice cream to celebrate getting through it.
Good lesson in sharing or fairness. Good discussion on why Iris felt the way she did and how her character changed during the book. What made her happy? Sad? Frustrated? Did Grandpa change? Good discussion on chapter titles since each title can generate predictions from the students.
