Yesterday Sue moved to a new house.

Monday would be her first day. Sue wondered what the new school would be like.

Would she know where to hang her coat or find the bathroom or what to call the children.

What about the playground rules?

This is Fred. Does he want to be friends?

Then, why did Fred make faces during storytime?

 or pull out Jims chair?

Sue was confused when Fred walked on her rug

 or untied Bobs shoe

 and stepped on Jims heel

Fred would not let Sam play, so Sam is mad.

He grabs the cards from Fred who yells- Im going to tell!

Who cares? Sam snarls and throws the cards.

Fred looks for the teacher who is giving a lesson.

Now the teacher is coming. Mrs. Cindy, Sam messed up my game!

Maybe you need to sit aside Fred right here. Fred was sitting aside without any friends

but he watched Gus. Was Gus grouchy?

Gus growled at Jim, I wont be your friend!

I wont invite you to my birthday. he yelled at Bob

Whats the matter with Gus? wondered Sue. Is he hungry? Is his mom mad?

Gus did not feel like working. He just sat on a chair.

but then Ted walked by and Gus sticks out his foot.

Now Ted is grouchy too!

Sue got really quiet. Then Mrs. Cindy rang the 6nkling li8le bell. Story 6me please sit theater style

Sue looked at the clock. Almost 6me to go home.

Please God dont let mom forget me.
