Let’s read the story carefully and think about what happened.

Kenya was playing with blocks during free time. She was almost done building a big house. Then her teacher said, “Time is up — you need to put your blocks away.” Kenya didn’t want to stop. She said, “No!” and started kicking the floor. Because of that, her teacher asked her to take a break to calm down.

Now, we’re being asked to answer questions based on this story — but wait! The actual questions aren’t shown in the image you shared. That means I can’t give you specific answers yet.

But here’s what I *can* do: I’ll help you understand how to answer typical questions that might come after this kind of story.

Common questions for this type of worksheet could be:

1. How did Kenya feel when it was time to clean up?
2. What did Kenya do when she heard “time is up”?
3. Why did the teacher ask Kenya to take a break?
4. What should Kenya have done instead of kicking the floor?

Let’s go through each one step by step so you know how to answer them if they appear.

—

Question 1: How did Kenya feel when it was time to clean up?

She felt upset or angry. We know this because she said “No!” and kicked the floor. Those are signs someone is not happy.

→ Answer: Kenya felt upset or angry.

—

Question 2: What did Kenya do when she heard “time is up”?

The story says: “Kenya says, ‘No!’ and begins kicking the floor.”

→ Answer: She said “No!” and kicked the floor.

—

Question 3: Why did the teacher ask Kenya to take a break?

Because Kenya wasn’t listening and was acting out (kicking the floor). The teacher wanted her to calm down before continuing.

→ Answer: Because Kenya was upset and needed to calm down.

—

Question 4: What should Kenya have done instead of kicking the floor?

She could have taken a deep breath, asked for more time politely, or started cleaning up slowly. Kicking the floor isn’t safe or helpful.

→ Answer: She should have taken a deep breath or asked nicely for more time.
