Sharing Instruments

In music class, we need to share instruments.

Sometimes my friends have the instrument I want.

I feel angry and jealous. I want to grab the instrument away or hit
my friend.

I don't hit my friend. I can wait for my turn with the instrument.
I can ask nicely or play with instrument I have.

When I share instruments, I feel happy.

When It's Too Loud

Sometimes in music class, it is really loud.

I don't like when it is loud. I want to yell at people or run away.

I need to stay in music class. I don't run away. I can say, "This
hurts my ears" or I can ask for a break.

When I ask for a break, I can take a short break and then come
back to music class. I will feel better.

When I have good behavior in music class, my teacher is happy!
