Helping Others is Fun!
I love helping people! It’s like being a superhero every day. I help my family, friends, and even my teachers.
At home, I help my mom set the table for dinner. I put out plates, cups, and utensils. Sometimes, I help my dad feed our pet dog, Max. I pour his food and make sure he has water.
In school, I help my teacher by cleaning up after playtime. I also help my friends if they need a crayon or don’t understand something. It’s nice to be a good friend and help others learn.
Once, I helped my little sister tie her shoes. It was tricky at first, but I showed her the bunny ears trick, and now she can do it herself!
Helping is easy and makes me feel happy inside. I like seeing smiles on people’s faces when I help them. I will keep on helping because it’s super fun! 😊
