On, in, under…

I’m Leo, and I’m late! I run to school.
On my left, a tiny kiosk sells pencils.
In front of me, a slow scooter beeps.
A dog hides under a bench and watches me.
Two tall trees stand, and a red kite is between them.
My water bottle is in my backpack, but it leaks—oops!
I stop next to the gate and tie my shoe.
A statue smiles behind the fountain like a secret friend.
My friend Amir waits on the steps with a big grin.
The bell rings; the teacher stands in front of the door.
I breathe, smile, and walk in.

I love sports at school. On Mondays we play basketball in the yard. I stand in front of the hoop and try a shot. My friend Leo waits behind me and counts, “Three, two, one!” On Tuesdays we run on the track. I run next to Mia. She is fast, but I smile and keep going. On Thursdays we play football. I kick the ball between two cones as a goal. Our coach is on the left; the bench is on the right. We always stretch in the gym after games. Sports make me strong and happy, and I sleep well at night.
