- Sometimes our whole school meets in the gym or auditorium for an assembly.
- We walk in a line and sit with our class on the floor or in chairs.
- Assemblies can be loud and long. Many students feel excited or wiggly in a big crowd.
- Teachers and staff are there to keep everyone safe and help us hear the program.
- I can sit on my pockets, hold a fidget, or take a breath when my body feels busy.
- I clap when others clap and listen when the speaker is talking.
- When the assembly ends we line up with our teacher and walk back to class.
