How to join an Ongoing Conversation.
Today is the first day of school. It is almost time for recess. I want to make some new friends.
I could go on the merry-go-round. I could play on the monkey bars.
I see a group of kids on the hill. I want to talk with them. Maybe they will be my friends.
I walk up to them. Should I interrupt or wait for a break? I decide to _______. When they are not talking I ask, “May I join you?”
Anna says I can join them.
I did something I was scared to do. I was brave.
Anna, Lee, and Tom are talking about what they want to be when they grow up. Anna wants to be an artist when she grows up. Tom says he wants to be a basketball player. Lee says he wants to be a sherriff.
The bell rings and we get in line to go inside.
I made new friends today because I was brave and asked to talk with them. If I needed help I could always ask my teacher.
