Miss Booker's Busy Week Passage

Miss Booker had so many things to do. Classes would be starting next week, and she wanted the classroom to be perfect for the children’s first day!

On Tuesday, she needed to clean the floors and closets. They were filled with dust and grime from the summer months.

On Thursday, she would need to unpack all the boxes. The boxes contained her books, games, and puzzles.

On Friday, she would decorate the door and create a display in the hallway. She also wanted to put up a new welcome banner.

Then on the weekend, she was going to plan the cool games and projects they would do during their first week. Miss Booker was so excited for her new class!

Drew and Marley's Cruise Ship Adventure

Drew and Marley were thrilled as they walked onto their first cruise ship. They had been packing for this trip for months, and their suitcases were so full that they almost did not close! When they arrived at their cabin, they peered out the window and saw the vast, blue sea. It was very pretty!

After settling in, they left their suitcases and went to grab a bite to eat by the pool. Yes, the new cruise ship even had a pool!

How cool! Drew sipped on some apple juice while Marley munched on a bowl of fresh fruit. Together, they watched the friendly crew greeting everyone as they came aboard the ship.

“This is going to be a fantastic trip!” Marley exclaimed excitedly. “And when we get back on Tuesday, I will feel relaxed and renewed!” added Drew as the ship’s horn blew. Honk! Honk!

“And off we go!” Marley squealed with delight. Truly, it was a dream come true for both of them.
