In a brightly lit classroom corner, Mia, Chloe, and Jayden stand in a small circle linking pinkies in their new secret handshake. Afternoon sunlight streams through tall windows onto the colorful floor mats beneath them.
Mia excitedly asked, "Who wants to play superheroes with me?" Chloe cheered, "Me! Let's make a club!" Jayden grinned, "Superpowers for everyone!" Ethan said, "We need a secret handshake." The friends linked pinkies and giggled. "Now we're a super team!" Mia declared.
Inside a softly lit classroom, Mason sits cross-legged on a carpet raising one hand to speak while Ella and Nora watch attentively. Posters and a morning clock decorate the wall behind their quiet listening circle.
Next day, Mason said, "Sometimes it's hard to be heard." Ella nodded, "We can listen with our eyes and ears." Nora added, "Let’s take turns sharing ideas." The friends tried it and smiled. "Listening is like a real power!" Mason beamed. Everyone cheered together.
At a cluttered art room table under bright ceiling lights, Sofia crouches to help Lila gather dropped crayons. Beside them, Aiden proudly holds up their vivid rainbow drawing over scattered art supplies.
During art, Sofia noticed Lila dropping crayons. "Let me help you," Sofia offered gently. Lila smiled, "Thank you, Sofia!" Aiden joined and said, "Helping each other feels good." Jack added, "Together, anything is possible!" Their teamwork made a beautiful rainbow picture.
In the cozy classroom reading nook bathed in late-day sunlight, Diego nestles beside Sienna on a large circular rug. Nearby, Ms. Chen smiles warmly above an open picture book against shelves of colorful storybooks.
At story time, Diego whispered, "Can I sit with you, Sienna?" Sienna beamed, "Of course, Diego!" Ben laughed, "Our circle keeps growing." Ms. Chen smiled kindly, "Friends share smiles and stories." Everyone snuggled closer and listened happily. Their superpower was being kind and together.
