Inside a sunlit classroom morning, Joe stands near the door nervously clutching a backpack while a friendly teacher in a blue cardigan smiles from beside the chalkboard. At a desk, a brown-haired classmate waves, holding crayons and an open sketchbook.
Joe looked nervous as he walked into class. "Hello, I'm Joe," he said softly. A friendly teacher smiled, "Welcome, Joe!" Joe found his seat next to a new friend. "Would you like to draw with me?" his friend asked. Joe grinned and nodded happily.
In the brightly lit classroom afternoon, Joe sits at a wooden desk handing his yellow pencil to a brown-haired classmate who looks relieved. A friendly teacher in a blue cardigan smiles proudly near the chalkboard.
At playtime, Joe saw his friend had lost a pencil. "You can use mine," Joe offered kindly. "Thank you!" said his friend. The teacher noticed and smiled. "Sharing is a good life skill, Joe!" she praised. Joe felt proud of being helpful.
On the classroom carpet under soft afternoon light, Joe kneels concentrating as he loops his shoelaces. A friendly teacher in a blue cardigan crouches beside him, pointing to the crossed laces with an encouraging smile.
Joe couldn't tie his shoelace. He waved for the teacher, "Can you help me, please?" She knelt and showed him how. "Cross and pull," she said softly. Joe tried and tied his laces by himself. "You did it!" everyone cheered.
At the bright school cafeteria counter midday, Joe receives a shiny red apple on his tray, smiling gratefully up at a cheerful lunch lady in a white apron. A brown-haired classmate stands beside him, eager for the shared apple slice.
At lunchtime, Joe received his favorite fruit. "Thank you for the apple," he said to the lunch lady. She smiled and winked. Joe shared his apple slice with a friend. "Thanks, Joe!" The classroom buzzed with happy voices saying, "Thank you!"
