I Know How to Share
I know how to share with my friends. At snack time, I ask before I take. I say 'please' and then I wait. Dem says I am a great sharer.

I See the Big Slide
It is break time at school today. I see the big red slide. Many children are waiting in a long line. My body feels wiggly and impatient. It is okay that waiting feels hard.

We All Take Turns
The children ahead of me are waiting too. They want a go on the slide. We all share the slide at break time. Each person waits and gets a turn.

Breathing Helps Me Wait
Dem is beside me in the line. He breathes in slowly and breathes out. My teacher stands nearby if I ask her. I can try breathing slowly like Dem.

I Am Almost There
I am at the front of the line. I breathed slowly and waited. I even counted clouds in the sky. My teacher gives me a warm smile.

I Did It!
I went down the big slide at last. Dem cheers for me at the bottom. Waiting was hard and I did it. I feel very proud of myself.
