How to Use This Worksheet
- Point to the picture and say 'This boy holds the door.' Have students trace 'door' and 'hand' from the visual word bank on the primary lines.
- Ask students to copy the model sentence 'I hold the door for my class.' then add one word or phrase describing how the boy feels.
- Guide students to pick a writing style: tell the story, explain why holding doors helps, or state if they would hold the door.
- Let students share finished sentences in small groups, celebrating each classroom helper.
When to Use It — Classroom Scenarios
- During the first week of school, after teaching hallway routines, use the prompt to reinforce door-holding manners as students practice walking to lunch.
- On a rainy day when indoor recess is active, this prompt gives early finishers a calm, focused writing task about helping peers stay safe.
