A Game of Kickball
By Jenna Thomas, Debby Angel, and Allen Roberts

I went outside and saw my friends playing with my eyes.

Sali y vi a mis amigos a jugar, con los ojos

I heard with my ears my friend shout “let’s play kickball!”. I used my feet to run over as fast as I could.

Oi Con mis oidos a mi amigo gritar "vamos a jugar pelota!", Y usa los pies para correr mas rapido que pude.
