I remember one day arriving at school. I took the bus to get there. When I got off the bus near the school, I could hear the sounds of students talking and laughing. I walked towards the main entrance. There was a new student looking lost. I went over and showed him where the office was. We then walked into the school together. It was a great feeling to be helpful right at the start of the school day.
One key element is the journey to school. Whether you walk, take a bus or get a ride. Then, how you interact with others at the school gate or in the hall. Another is your feelings when you arrive, like excitement or nervousness. For example, if you're new, you might be more nervous. And the things you notice around school, like the classrooms or the cafeteria.
Social stories can happen as soon as you enter the school premises. Maybe you'll see friends chatting or teachers greeting students.
Sure. Here is a simple one: 'I wake up in the morning. I am going to school today. I put on my nice clothes. I eat my breakfast. Then I pick up my backpack. I say goodbye to my family. I walk to the school bus stop. I see my friends there. We are all going to school together. It is a happy time.'
Sure. One example could be a story about a boy who always runs in the hallways at school. The school rule is to walk. In the social story, it shows how his running almost causes him to bump into other students and drop their books. Then he realizes that following the rule of walking keeps everyone safe and happy.
Well, my first day at school was quite an adventure. I remember waking up early, all excited and a bit jittery. When I got to school, the building looked so huge. As I entered the classroom, there were other kids chatting and playing. I was shy at first. But then we had an ice - breaking activity where we had to say our names and our favorite things. That made me feel more at ease. And by the end of the day, I had made a couple of new friends and couldn't wait for the next day.
Sure. In my new school social story, I found it exciting to meet new friends. Everyone was so friendly, and there were lots of interesting clubs to join.
Sure. Maybe there are funny interactions with classmates, like sharing snacks on the way to school.
Sure. In a social story about following school rules, an example could be 'Johnny always walks quietly in the hallways. He knows that running is against the school rules and it can be dangerous for himself and others.'
Sure. On the first day of school in a social story, there might be new friends to meet. For example, I remember my first day, I saw a kid with a cool backpack and we started chatting about our favorite superheroes on it. It was a great ice - breaker.
Sure. Well, at school, doing work in a social story can be really interesting. For example, group projects are a big part of it. You get to interact with different classmates, learn from their perspectives, and share your own ideas. It helps in building teamwork skills.
