I Can Share

2

I am learning to share. I share when I let someone else use

a toy. Sharing is also when we use the toy together.

When I share I am a good friend.

I have lots of friends at school. We play and do many fun things

together.

Sometimes it is hard to share.

I might forget to use my words and ask for the toy. I might cry, scream, grab, hurt

someone or walk away and give up.

When I cry, scream, grab, hurt someone, or walk away my friends

don’t know that I want to share.

Using my words to share toys or items works much better.

5

Can I play with you?

If I want something I can say, “Can I play with you” or “Can I use that please?”

Can I use that please?

6

Can you please

help me?

Sometimes our friends might say “no” and that is okay. Not everyone wants to share.

I can first go ask a teacher for help. Then, we can think, think, think of a solution

together.
