📘 Sally’s Morning

Every morning, Sally woke up at 7:00 a.m. to get ready for school.

Every day, Sally thought she had enough time, but every day she had to rush to school.

Her friend Suzie suggested, “Try waking up at 6:30 instead.”

Sally tried this, but it made her too tired. She nearly fell asleep in class!

Sally needed a new idea. She asked her mom, “Mom, what should I do?”

Her mom suggested, “Keep track of the minutes you spend in the morning.”

So the next day, Sally did that. Sally counted all the minutes and wrote them down.

When Sally finished her morning schedule, she was shocked.

“Oh dear!” she said, “Look at the time! I’m late!”
