In the sunny town of Maple Ridge, the kids at Maple Ridge Elementary loved going to school. They laughed and learned together every day. But one Monday, the classroom buzzed with whispers.
- Ms. Perez is out sick! said Olivia. - We’ll have a substitute! The students exchanged worried glances. They'd heard stories about substitutes. Would she be strict? Would she understand their jokes?
Just then, the door creaked open, and in walked Mrs. Beckler. She had bright blue glasses and a warm smile.
- Hello, everyone! I’m Mrs. Beckler, and I’m excited to be your teacher today! she said cheerfully. Some kids mumbled, while others shrugged. But Adi decided to be brave.
- Hi, Mrs. Beckler! said Adi with a smile. Mrs. Beckler’s face lit up. - Thank you! Let’s start with a fun game to get to know each other, she suggested.
The class played “Two Truths and a Lie.” Laughter filled the room as they shared silly facts. Mrs. Beckler even joined in!
As the day went on, Mrs. Beckler read a story about friendship and kindness. - Being nice to each other makes everyone feel good! she said. Reese nodded in agreement.
Adi thought about her classmates. What if they were nice to Mrs. Beckler? They could show her that Maple Ridge Elementary was a special place.
At lunchtime, Adi whispered to her friends, - Let’s invite Mrs. Beckler to sit with us! They all agreed. When lunch began, Adi waved Mrs. Beckler over.
- Would you like to join us? Adi asked. - I’d love to! Thank you for the invite! Mrs. Beckler beamed.
