Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “disappointed.” It’s a feeling that many of us know, I think. Let's break it down, nice and slow. The dictionary gives us a good start, you see – "To sadden or displease by underperforming, or by not delivering something promised or hoped for." Think about it like this: imagine you baked a cake, a beautiful treat! You pictured it perfectly, frosted just so, but when you take a bite…it’s a little flat and sad. You expected it to be wonderful, and it wasn't. That feeling of sadness because your expectation wasn't met? That’s disappointment. Or maybe someone promised you a special toy, you waited with glee, but when they gave it to you...it wasn’t what you wanted, you see! A little letdown, a quiet sigh – that’s disappointment too. It’s about the gap between what we wanted and what actually happened . It's not always a huge, dramatic thing, sometimes it's just a small feeling of sadness. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions? Let's talk about times you’ve felt disappointed – and how you handled those feelings!

👉 "Disappointedly" is a phrase used in English to express disappointment or surprise. It comes from the Latin word "disputabilis," which means "to be uncertain or unsure." When someone says they are disappointed, it implies that their expectations have been met with something other than what was expected, and they feel upset or frustrated about it.
