- In middle school I move between classes through crowded hallways.
- Students walk in both directions and lockers open along the walls.
- Crowds can feel overwhelming. Many seventh graders feel rushed when the bell is about to ring.
- I can stay on the right side, hold my materials close, and keep my eyes up for my classroom door.
- If someone bumps me I can take a breath instead of pushing back.
- When I need space I can step near the wall and let the flow pass.
- Arriving calmly helps me be ready for the next class.
