1 Kicking the Cow Monday Dear first-grade journal, TOURNAMENT A KICKBALL A KICKBALL TOURNAMENT The whole entire first grade is going to have a KICKBALL TOURNAMENT! My teacher told us that news last week. And I can't even stop thinking about it! Our families

are going to come and everything! I have been practicing my kicking every day after school. I can kick high and low. And fast and slow. And to and fro. And pro and con. When I grow up. I will have my own kicking show on TV, probably. From, Junie B, First Grader I smiled at that nice thought. Then I peeked over the side of my desk. And I tried to wiggle my piggy toe. It still felt sore. That's because yesterday a little trouble happened when I was practicing in my backyard. And it's called, I accidentally

kicked my ball over the fence. And I didn't want to go get it. So I had to find something else to kick. And then ha! I spied Mother's brand-new watering can! It was the one with the funny cow painted on it. And it was sitting right out in the middle of the yard! I laughed out loud at that perfect target! "I bet I can kick that silly cow right over the moon!" I said. Then I rubbed my hands together very excited. And I backed all the way up to the fence. Then VA-ROOM! I took off running! And ZOOM!

I ran faster and faster! And KA-BOOM! I kicked that can as hard as I could! And OWIE OW OW! That dumb-bunny can was filled full of water! And nobody even told me about that problem! I fell down in the grass very painful. Then I rolled around and around. And I hollered real loud. "MY TOE! MY TOE! MY TOE!" I hollered. "MY TOE! MY TOE! MY TOE!" Mother hurried to the back door.

"Junie B.! Oh my goodness! What's wrong?" she called. "MY TOE IS WRONG! MY TOE IS WRONG! 911! 911!" I yelled. Mother hurried outside and took off my shoe and sock. She looked at my toe. "OW OW OW!" I yelled again. Mother hugged me. "What in the world did you do to hurt it so badly?" she asked. "Did you trip over a rock or something?"
