A picture book about a changed school plan
When Plans Change at School
Milo has been waiting for library day and a book about a great big blue whale. Then the library closes, and the class will have story time in their room instead.
The picture schedule still shows the old plan. Milo feels disappointed and unsure what happens next. Ms. Rivera listens, explains what she knows and helps him replace the library picture with the new sequence: reading, story time, then lunch.
Milo asks for a quiet minute and later chooses a place beside the rug. He finds something to enjoy in the sea story without having to stop wishing they had gone to the library.

A question about the next step
I Can Join the Game follows Ava as she asks about a playground game whose rules and next round are unclear. Both stories make room for a question about what happens next.
