The Sad News

The teacher walked into the classroom, her eyes red and puffy. Bozoja and the other students looked up from their artwork, sensing something was wrong. The teacher took a deep breath and began, "Children, I have some difficult news to share with you...my husband passed away." The room fell silent, and Bozoja's eyes widened in shock. "I'm so sorry, teacher. What can we do to help?" Bozoja asked, trying to be brave. The teacher's voice trembled as she explained that her husband had been sick for a long time and that she would need some time to care for herself and her family. The students didn't know what to say, but they knew they had to do something to help their beloved teacher. They started brainstorming ways to make her feel better – from drawing her cards to helping with chores at home. Bozoja had an idea, "Why don't we create a collaborative painting to show her how much we care?" As they worked on the painting, the students shared stories about their teacher's husband, remembering the fun times he had visited their classroom. They learned about the importance of empathy and being there for one another in difficult times. With every brushstroke, their condolences poured out onto the canvas.

The Confusion

"Oh no, oh no!" exclaimed Bozoja, holding her head in confusion. "When is the letter party again, teacher? I forgot." The whole class started murmuring, "Yeah, when is it?" "Did we already get the invitations?" "I thought it was next week..." Teacher looked frazzled, rubbing her temples. "I'm not sure, dear. I think I misplaced the invitations..." The class gasped in shock. "Misplaced the invitations?" "How could you, teacher?" Suddenly, Lezo jumped up. "Wait, I remember! We made a calendar in math class to keep track of our schedule. Maybe it's on there?" The class cheered as Lezo pulled out the calendar. After some counting and discussing, they finally figured out that the letter party was in three days! Teacher smiled, relieved. "You clever students! I knew I could count on you. Now, let's get to work on those letter decorations – we have a party to prepare for!"

The Plan

Bozoja sat in class, watching as her teacher, Mrs. Thompson, stared at the papers on her desk, looking worried. Mrs. Thompson had been planning a special letter party, where they would decorate letters and write secret messages to each other, but it seemed like she was stuck. Bozoja's eyes sparkled with an idea. She raised her hand, and when Mrs. Thompson called on her, Bozoja exclaimed, "Teacher, why don't we plan the letter party together? It will be fun, I promise!" Mrs. Thompson's face lit up with a warm smile. "What a wonderful idea, Bozoja! You've lifted my spirits." Together, they began brainstorming, using math to calculate how many letters they needed, and science to create special invisible ink that would only appear under a black light. As they worked, Bozoja taught Mrs. Thompson about the different types of fonts and writing styles, and even showed her how to make her own paper using cotton linters and natural dyes. Mrs. Thompson was amazed at Bozoja's creativity and resourcefulness. "You're a true problem-solver, Bozoja!" she exclaimed. With Bozoja's help, the letter party was shaping up to be the most magical event of the year!

The Journey Begins

The teacher burst into the classroom, her face beaming with excitement. "Guess what, Bozoja? I received an invitation to attend a literacy conference in Russia!" she exclaimed. Bozoja's eyes widened in surprise, her ears perking up like a rabbit's. "Wow, teacher! I'm going to miss you so much! Have a great trip!" Bozoja said, trying to hide the sadness in her voice. The teacher smiled, knowing how much Bozoja loved listening to her stories. In the next few days, the teacher was busy packing and preparing for her trip. Bozoja helped her, asking questions about Russia and its culture. "Did you know, Bozoja, that Russia is home to the largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Baikal?" the teacher asked, showing her a picture of the lake. Bozoja's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Wow, that's amazing! Can you bring me back a souvenir from Russia?" The teacher smiled, promising to bring her a traditional Russian doll. As the day of departure arrived, Bozoja gave the teacher a tight hug. "I'll miss you so much, teacher! Come back soon!" The teacher hugged her back, feeling a mix of sadness and excitement. She knew that this trip would not only take her to Russia but also open doors to new adventures and learning experiences for both her and Bozoja. With a heavy heart, the teacher bid farewell to Bozoja and set off on her journey to Russia.

The Grand Finale

The teacher walked into the school activity hall, surrounded by a flurry of colorful balloons and excited students. She was beaming with joy, clutching a big suitcase and wearing a warm winter coat. "I brought back souvenirs from Russia, and I have so many stories to share!" she exclaimed. The students cheered and clapped, eager to hear all about her adventures. Bozoja, the friendly rabbit, hopped forward, wearing a bright party hat. "Welcome back, teacher! We have a surprise for you...the most magical letter party ever!" The teacher's eyes widened as she took in the amazing sight. The hall was transformed into a vibrant alphabet forest, with giant letters dangling from the ceiling and twinkling lights spelling out words in Russian. The students had created an enormous "Я люблю чтение" (I love reading) banner, which the teacher had taught them during her last lesson before leaving for Russia. The party began, with games, puzzles, and letter-matching contests. The teacher shared fascinating stories about her journey to Russia, where she had visited the Moscow zoo and learned about the amazing Russian alphabet. She showed them traditional Russian toys and treats, and even taught them a fun Russian dance. As the grand finale, Bozoja led the students in a magical letter chant, waving their arms and shouting out their favorite letters. The teacher smiled, feeling grateful for the warm welcome and the incredible party her students had planned. It was a truly unforgettable letter party!
