Recess

After lunch we go to recess.

Sometimes recess is on the playground.

A lot of children play on the playground equipment.

It is fun to play on the playground equipment.

Everyone should play safe.

When the whistle blows this means it is time to line up.

This makes teachers happy.

After I line up I need to stay in line.

Everyone will be proud of me!

Excuse Me!

Mom talks to a lot of people.

Mom likes talking to lots of people.

Sometimes when mom talks to other people I want to talk too.

I can say, "Excuse Me," to see if Mom can talk.

Sometimes mom will talk to me right away.

Other times Mom is talking about something very important. When she is talking about something important she cannot answer me right away.

If I say "Excuse Me," and she doesn't answer me I will wait until she's done talking.

This will make mom very happy.

______graders are polite and wait until people are finished talking.

I am going to try to be polite.
