Practicing Patience

There’s hardly ANYTHING worse in Gabe’s eyes than having to wait. Whether it’s waiting for classmates to get quiet enough to go to PE, or waiting for his turn in the lunch line, Gabe is just plain TIRED of waiting! But imagine Gabe’s surprise when his left shoe, Lefty, notices Gabe’s restlessness and in a small voice gives him tips on how to be patient. What was even more surprising was when his right shoe, Lacey, pipes in to explain why it’s important to practice patience – even when it’s hard. PreK – 5 students are sure to relate to Gabe’s struggles and find ways to use the tips to practice patience at school and at home.
