Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday
Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday | Judith Viorst
3 posts | 7 read
Anthony has two dollars and three quarters and one dime and seven nickels and eighteen pennies. Nicholas has one dollar and two quarters and five dimes and five nickels and thirteen pennies. Alexander has...bus tokens. And even when he's rich, pretty soon all he has is bus tokens. He was rich. Last Sunday. Grandma Betty and Grandpa Louie came and gave Anthony and Nicholas and Alexander each a dollar. Alexander was saving his. Maybe for a walkie-talkie. And then there was bubble gum, some bets with Anthony and Nicholas (that Alexander lost), a snake rental, a garage sale, and all kinds of other things to spend money on. And now all he has is bus tokens. When he used to be rich last Sunday.

“Eddie called me up and said he would rent me a snake for an hour, I always wanted to rent a snake for an hour! Goodbye 12¢.”

Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday is a realistic fiction book written by Judith Viorist and illustrated by Ray Cruz. This is a story of a kid who had some change and then ended up spending it. It is funny because he wants a bunch of toys and doesn‘t have a lot of money because he is only a kid. This book represents how silly kids can be!

Alexander, Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst is a (RF) picture book about Alexander, who likes money, a lot, and his money troubles. This book would be perfect to (RA). A UDL principal strongly supported is (3.4) maximizing transfer and generalization. Alexander has trouble saving money, many students may make generalizations about goal setting and overcoming obstacles in many aspects of life.

KaitlynN The EL strategy that this book supports is (42) which deals with chronology. The class could create a timeline to mark each event in the story where Alexander losses, or spends his money. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vjUclCaChpM this is a link to a read aloud on YouTube. The teacher could use this resource to pause the story and add each event to the timeline. #ucflae3414sp18 7y

V.DeQuattro I love this post! I loved Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good very bad day. I knew they had another book that went along with it but I never read. I will definitely have to read it now! 7y
DrSpalding This is a wonderful sequel to the original, classic story. Excellent resource and I love the idea of using the video and pausing to add information to the timeline or sequence of events. Well done. 7y
