Here's the story:

BUDDY THE BULLY

It’s the first day back at school and there is a new girl in the class.

Her name is Annie.

Annie came to this school because she just moved from Florida.

Everyone found that so fascinating that they all wanted to be her friend.

Except Buddy.

Buddy was extremely jealous that everyone was much more interested in the new girl so he began to bully her.

At recess time, everyone went outside to play in the park. Michelle went on the swings. John went to go line up at the slide. Annie went to play in the sandbox with Buddy’s best friend, Jim. When Buddy saw that, he got extremely mad that he marched right up to her and told her to get out and go back to where she came from. Annie started crying and ran off back into the school. Buddy kept on screaming "I SPY A CRY BABY! I SPY A CRY BABY!" just until she entered the school building.

The bell rang and everyone went back to Miss Kayla’s class.

“Does anyone know where Annie went?” Miss Miller asked.

“Most probably back to Florida!”

 “Buddy got mad at her during recess and told her to go back home.”

 “He bullied her.”

 “Mr. Buddy, outside right now!” Miss Miller said.

Miss Miller and Buddy went outside to talk about Buddy's action and what he had to do to make things right.

Buddy went looking around the school for Annie and he found her sitting on the floor crying in front of a classroom.

“Leave me alone Buddy! I get it you hate me”

 “Look, I didn’t mean anything I said. I was just upset. I’m really sorry Annie. Please forgive me.”

“Annie...”

 “Next time, you’re mad at me could you just talk to me instead of creating a big scene?”

"Okay"

 “Deal! Could we restart?"

After that little talk they had, Buddy and Annie became the best of friends and Buddy never bullied her ever again or anybody else ever again.

Our 2nd lesson is manners!

Here's the story:

FUN IN THE SUN

It was finally summer.

No more school and

no more homework.

It was finally time to have fun in the sun

  and today's plan was to go get

ice cream before heading off to the beach.

“Minnie, please grab your things for the beach and meet me in the car.”

Driving off to the beach, we first stopped to pick up Minnie's friend, Carla.

“Hi Minnie! Hi Miss Jones. How are you?"

“Hi Carla! I'm good, Thank You!”

“Hi Carla. I'm amazing-g-g!

 Guess what? We're going for ice cream first!”

A few minutes later, we arrived at the beach where there was an ice cream truck!

“Hi! Could I please have a chocolate popsicle? Thank you!”

“Hi! Could I have a chocolate popsicle?”

“That’s more like it sweetie!”

 “Minnie, the magic words!”

After everyone ordered their ice cream and ate it, we all headed off into the water and spent the whole day having fun in the sun.

Our 3rd lesson

is respect!

Here's the story:

MY FIRST BUS RIDE

It was a breezy Monday morning. Mommy and daddy were already gone to work.

only Andrew and Julie were left at home still sound asleep.

The clock struck 8 o’clock and Julie woke up.

 “ANDREW-W-W! WAKE UP IT’S TIME FOR SCHOOL! Let’s go! You have 10 minutes to go brush your teeth and get dressed,” Julie yelled.

As much as Andrew wanted to stay in bed, he knew he had to wake up and get ready.

A little while later, everyone was ready and off to school. Before Julie heads off to her high school, she drops her brother off at his bus stop.

That morning, Andrew’s bus couldn’t pass by the house, so Julie had to bring him to school by public transit. it was going to be his first time taking the big bus and not the yellow school bus.

Waiting at the bus stop, they finally got on the bus and there was an empty seat so Julie made andrew sit.

The whole ride he looked around and was so happy because he felt like a big boy now.

One stop away from school, a cute little old lady with a cane got on the bus.

 “Andrew, please stand up and make the lady sit. We’re getting off soon.”

“Thank you, young child.”

Andrew got off the seat and went to stand next to Julie.

“Julie, how come I needed to get off the seat if I was there first?”

Finally getting off the bus and walking up towards his school, Andrew stopped and asked the question he was dying to ask.

“Because Andrew, you need to respect the people around you. She needed to sit because she had a cane. You need to respect your elders, but most importantly, everyone and everything.”

He hugged his sister and he walked proudly through the big school doors. He couldn’t wait to see his friends and tell them what he had

learned this morning.
