Being a good classmate

In class we often have to work in groups. Sometimes it's difficult because we can't speak English very well. Sometimes everyone talks at the same time or people speak very loudly! And other times we forget to do the work and talk about other things. Here are some tips for working well in groups:

• Give your ideas.
• Respect the children in your class.
• Offer to help your classmates.
• Use a soft voice and be kind.
• Participate in the activities.
• Stay focused on the work.
