Summary

Afternoon kindergarten is having a field day, and Junie B. Jones is team captain! Only, here's the problem. Room Eight keeps on winning too many events. And so how will Room Nine ever become the kindergarten champions? As Captain Field Day, will Junie B. find a way to lead her team to victory? Or will it be up to someone else to save the day?

Home- To- School Connection

According to Junie B. in Junie B. Jones Is Captain Field Day, "losing does not feel joyful." Start a discussion about friendly competition. Ask your child how it feels to win and to lose in events such as little league games, spelling bees, and field events. Write the phrase "it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game" on the board. Ask the child what she thinks this popular phrase means.
