We all go to school.

Some of us are here all day and some of us here only part of the day.

We all need to remember to be Safe and Respectful while we are at school.

Being Respectful means we remember to use gentle hands.

We gently touch our friends to get their attention.

We use gentle hands when we play with the toys.

Being Respectful means we remember to use our indoor voices when we are inside.

We talk quietly in the book area.

We use indoor voices during lunch.

Our friends can still hear us when we talk quietly while we are playing.

Being Safe means we remember to use walking feet.

We walk up the ladder. We walk in the hallways.

Being Safe means we take turns and keep our hands to ourselves.

Taking turns with our friends. Hands to ourselves while we are waiting.

When we remember to be Respectful and Safe, we all have a great day!
