Things I Do to Be Active
Cosas Que hacer para ser Activa
By McKenna Buckley

I decide to play on the playground everyday at school.
E decido a jugar en el patio todos los días en la escuela.

I will set a goal to play soccer every Friday with my brother. Puse una meta a jugar al fútbol todos los viernes con mi hermano.

When I am stressed, I will go for a short walk with my big sister. Cuando estoy estresada, voy a dar un paseo corto con mi hermana mayor.

I will communicate to my mother that I like to run.
Me comprometo a comunicarla a mi madre que me guste correr.

When I am in a conflict, I will go outside on the swings when I get angry. Cuando estoy en un conflicto, me iré fuera en los columpios cuando me enojo.

I decide to play after school with my friends on Thursday.
Me decido a jugar después de la escuela con mis amigos el jueves.

When I am stressed, I will play with my dog.
Cuando estoy estreado tocaré con mi perro.

Summary
When I decide to…
Play on the playground everyday after school,
Play soccer every Friday with my brother,
Go for a short walk with my sister,
Communicate with my mom that I want to eat healthy,
Swing on the swings when I am angry,
Play after school on Thursday with my friends, and
Play with my dog
… then I can stay active!
