This can help you understand the story better!  \nRead the story and underline parts that remind you of your own life:  \nToday was Cara’s first day of swimming lessons. When she got to the pool, she stayed close to her mom. The pool was huge. She had never been to an indoor pool before! Cara saw lots of kids in their bathing suits. She didn’t know any of them. Her heart started to race. Her hands felt sweaty.  \n“What if the water is too deep?” Cara asked.  \n“You’ll be great,” Mom said. She gave Cara a big hug.  \n“Just listen to your teacher.”  \nCara walked slowly to the pool. She sat on the edge with the other kids. Her toes dangled over the water. The teacher  \nsmiled at everyone. She had a whistle around her neck.  \n“Okay, everyone, dip your toes in first!” the teacher said.  \nCara looked at the water. It looked cold. She carefully slid her toes in. The water was chilly! She pulled her toes out, but the teacher smiled at her. Cara tried again. After a minute, it didn’t feel so bad.  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \n“Now slide into the water,” the teacher said.“Hold onto the edge of the pool.”  \nCara watched the other kids. Some slid in quickly. Others were slow, like her. She saw a boy splash and laugh. A girl next to him looked nervous.  \nWhen it was Cara’s turn, she grabbed the edge of the pool tightly. She slid into the water. It felt cold on her legs and tummy. She held onto the side and didn’t let go.  \n“Good job, Cara!” the teacher said.  \nEveryone started practicing their kicks. Cara kicked her legs slowly at first. She made small splashes. The teacher showed her how to kick bigger. Soon, Cara was splashing more water than before. She felt proud.  \nBy the end of the lesson, Cara was tired. She climbed out of the pool. Mom wrapped her in a warm towel. Cara smiled.  \n“I can’t wait for next week!” she said.  \nMom gave her a high five.“You’re going to be a great swimmer!”  \nCara waved to the teacher. She was actually excited to try again next week!  \nThen, explain two ways that the story connects to your own life:  \n\n| This part of the story   | Reminded me of when   |\n| --- | --- |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |\n| 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 | 􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁􀀁 |","cbCaipkrfIGQiUpH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipkrfIGQiUpH","pdf",136170,"English","# Reading and Math for K-5 © www.k5learning.com\n## Text-to-self connections\n## Read the story and underline\n## Explain two ways it connects","[{\"question\":\"What should students do when they read the story?\",\"answer\":\"Underline parts of the story that remind them of something in their own life.
