Hi there! It’s Ani, and today we’re going to read a fun story about a boy named David. David is going to school, and we’re going to see how he behaves. Do you think David will follow the rules, or will he get into some trouble? Let’s find out together!
The story is called “David Goes to School,” and it’s written by David Shannon. In the story, David’s teacher has a lot to say to him. She often says, “No, David!” because David is learning how to behave at school.
Here are some of the things David’s teacher tells him:
David is learning all these important rules. Sometimes, he forgets, and he has to stay after school. But guess what? David is trying his best, and he even finishes his work! His teacher says, “Good job, David!” and he gets to go home.
David has a lot to learn about behaving at school, but we think he’ll get better with practice. What do you think? Do you think David will learn all the rules soon?
I hope you enjoyed reading about David’s day at school. Thank you for joining me! If you liked the story, come back next time for more fun stories. Bye for now!
Role-Playing School Rules: Gather your friends or family members and take turns playing the role of David and his teacher. Practice following the school rules mentioned in the story, like raising your hand before speaking or keeping your hands to yourself. Discuss how it feels to follow the rules and why they are important in creating a happy classroom environment.
Create a “Good Job, David!” Chart: Make a chart at home or in your classroom where you can track your own progress in following rules, just like David. Every time you follow a rule, add a sticker or draw a smiley face on your chart. At the end of the week, see how many good choices you made and celebrate your efforts!
Observation Walk: Go on a walk around your school or neighborhood with a grown-up and look for examples of people following rules. Can you spot someone waiting their turn, or walking safely? Talk about why these rules are important and how they help everyone stay safe and happy.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello, my reading friends! It’s Ani. Today, our friend David is going to school. How do you think he’ll behave? Do you think he’ll get into any trouble? Let’s find out as we read “David Goes to School.” If you have a copy, go get it so you can read along with me.

“David Goes to School” by David Shannon.
David’s teacher always said, “No, David. No yelling. No pushing. No running in the halls. David, you’re tardy. Sit down, David. Don’t you come in class. David, raise your hand. Keep your hands to yourself. Pay attention. Wait your turn, David. I don’t care who started it. David, recess is over.”
[Applause]
“Again! That’s it, mister. You’re staying after school. David, have you finished? Good job, David. Yes, David, you can go home.”
Now, David has quite a bit to learn about how to behave at school, but I think he’ll catch on eventually. What do you think?
