Welcome to Miss Sofie’s Storytime.
Today we’re going to read David goes to School by David Shannon.
David’s teacher always said...No, David!
No yelling.
No pushing.
No running in the halls.
This is classroom 3, it has a red door.
This is classroom 4, it has a green door.
And this is classroom 5, it has a blue door.
I wonder which class David is going to.
If he’s loud, then he’ll disturb other classes.
And if he pushes or runs in the hallways then he might bump into someone and hurt them.
David has to learn about all the rules at school first and follow them.
David! You’re tardy!
David’s classroom door is blue, so that means he’s in class 5.
It’s important to come to class on time.
Otherwise the teacher has to repeat everything again.
Before David sits in his seat he will probably hang his coat and hat up here on the coat rack.
This way his desk won’t be cluttered.
Sit Down, David!
It looks like David was called up to the board to solve some math problems.
But after he’s done he’s supposed to sit back down and not fool around.
Let’s check his answers and see if they’re right.
7 + 3 = 10, that’s correct.
We have 7 red circles and 3 blue circles.
If we count them all together, it’ll equal 10.
Let’s count them all together.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
It’s right!
This one is 4 + 4 = 7?
But there’s a question mark after it, so that must mean they aren’t sure.
Let’s double check it with circles again.
4 red circles and 4 blue circles.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
That one’s wrong.
4 + 4 = 8, not 7.
Let’s try the next one, 14 - 12 = 2, let’s use the circles again.
This time we’re subtracting, so we will take a total of 14 red circles and count up
to 12 and then see how many are left.
Let’s count together 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
So now that we’ve taken away these 12 circles, how many are left?
That’s right 2, so 14 - 12 = 2.
This one you might already know without using the circles to count.
2 + 2 = 4, let’s try it one more time with the circles to double check.
1, 2, 3, 4, yup 2 + 2 =4, that one’s correct.
And the last one we can see here is 11 - 4 = 7.
This one is subtracting again, so we’re taking away.
So we start off with 11 red circles and we’re going to take away only 4 of them.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Let’s see how many circles are left and that will be our answer.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
So 11 - 4 = 7.
That one is right too.
So David only got one wrong, he must be learning a lot in school.
Don’t chew gum in class!
Uh oh, chewing gum is not allowed in schools.
Have you ever stepped in gum by accident or found some stuck to your desk?
It’s so sticky and gross.
Ugh!
David, raise your hand!
David is just shouting out answers, which means that other people who raise their hand
patiently don’t get a chance to answer the question.
It’s important to take turns.
I wonder what kind of question he had to answer.
The colorful leaves on the wall behind him are the months of the year.
Do you know all the names for the 12 months?
Let’s list them, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September,
October, November, December.
Great job.
You’re ready to go to school just like David.
Keep your hands to yourself!
It sure is fun to finger paint, but if David touches anything else, he’s going to get
it everywhere; on the desk and on his classmates.
I hope it washes out easily.
It looks like he’s using four different colors to paint with: blue, red, yellow and
green.
Pay attention!
It’s a nice day outside and it’s easy to get distracted when sitting inside.
It looks like David is imagining dinosaur shaped clouds instead of listening to the
teacher.
On the window sill there is also a small rocket ship, a potato growing roots in a glass of
water and a globe.
Wait your turn, David!
David is cutting the line.
I bet his classmates don’t like that.
He’s supposed to wait in line, like everyone else.
They have milk already on their school lunch trays and are waiting to get food.
I don’t care who started it!
Having a food fight is not good.
All of that good food has to go in the garbage now and their clothes are all dirty.
It’s not important who started it, it’s about not making a mess and wasting food.They
threw a banana, tomatoes, oranges, the milk, a sandwich and some other vegetables too .
David!
Recess is over!
It sure is fun to play outside in the middle of the day, but unfortunately David can’t
stay and play all day.
Recess is only a short break after lunch time.
When it’s over he has to put the ball away and go back to the classroom and learn.
Shhhhhhhh!
David is being loud again, but do you know what kind of room he’s sitting in?
He’s sitting at a group desk with his classmates and they all have books in front of them.
There are also bookshelves behind them with a lot of books on them.
David is most likely sitting in the library.
And in the library, you have to be quiet.
Again?
David has to go to the bathroom again.
Sometimes it’s hard to learn if you keep going to the bathroom during class.
But if you drink a lot of water which is a really healthy habit, then that’s what happens.
As long as he’s not making it up to get out of class.
That’s it, Mister!
You’re staying after school!
Uh oh, now David is in trouble.
Drawing on his desk is a big no no.
That’s what paper is for.
Other kids need to use the same desk after David goes to the next grade.
I wonder what the teacher is going to have him do after school.
David, have you finished?
David had to clean all the desks, but now they are nice and squeaky clean.
He used soapy water and a yellow sponge to clean them.
Good job, David!
David’s teacher is giving him a gold star, since he cleaned all the desks so well.
He cleaned not only the desk that he drew on, but all of them.
Yes, David…
You can go home now.
After a long day at school, David is finally finished.
He’s happy to go home and play with his friends.
The end.
David is learning every day about what to do and what not to do in school.
When things are new sometimes you’re unsure about what to do.
But there will always be an adult like a teacher or your parents to help guide you.
So be sure to listen to them and learn from them, just like David.
