Here are the answers to the questions on your worksheet based on the story provided.
1. Who are the characters in the story?
The characters in the story are
Molly and
Bella. (The teacher is also mentioned, but she does not appear in the scene).
2. What is the problem?
The problem is that
Bella would not get off the swing so Molly could have her turn. Even though Molly counted to 100, Bella claimed Molly counted too fast and refused to share.
3. Where does the story take place?
The story takes place at the
playground.
4. How does Molly solve the problem?
Molly solves the problem by using an
"I message." Instead of getting angry or telling the teacher, she calmly told Bella how she felt ("I feel sad"), explained why ("we were supposed to take turns"), and asked nicely for what she wanted ("Will you please get off?"). This worked, and Bella finally got off the swing.
