I __________________(NOT/WANT) to go to school today,” Tracey told her father. “I understand, Tracey,” he said. “Starting a new school can be very difficult. But you have to.”

A month before __________________(THEY) family had moved to a new town and everything was still new and strange for Tracey. Dad smoothed Tracey’s hair down and __________________(GIVE) her a little hug, “When your classes __________________(BE) over, I’ll pick you up, ok?” When Tracey got to school and looked at the big building, she thought, “I wish I __________________(CAN) run away,” but she knew it was impossible. She took a deep breath and walked up the steps to school. She went straight into her __________________(FIVE) grade classroom. “That must be Tracey,” “Hello, Tracey!”, “Welcome, Tracey!” the __________________(CHILD) in the room welcomed her. Everyone seemed friendly and Tracey felt a little __________________(GOOD). The father picked her up after school. “How was your day?” he asked. To his surprise Tracey answered that she __________________(LIKE) her new school.
