Sharing Ideas Excerpt:
Under the wide, spreading branches of a great oak tree in the park, Helen waited for her friends to arrive. She, Brianna, and Rogelio had been working on making a play to put on for their families and friends. They’d already decided on the story and found the perfect place to perform, and they’d been practicing a lot! Now, the three friends needed to decide on costumes, props, and scenery. Helen could hardly wait to share her ideas.
As Helen watched a few leaves drift down from the tree’s branches, she heard voices approaching.
“Hi, Helen!” called Rogelio. He waved as he and Brianna walked up to meet Helen. Both friends looked full of excitement.
