Mina's Letter from Gullsong Island

Learn how home and school rules help people.

Listen to Mina's letter

Listen as your teacher reads the letter. Then answer the questions.

Dear Grandma

On Gullsong Island, my family follows rules. At home, we hang raincoats on hooks. This keeps the floor clear for people carrying baskets. We close the screen door so flies stay outside. At school, we wait behind a blue line before boarding the school boat. The boat helper can count us safely. After tide-pool science, we return shell tools to a tray. Then the next group can find them. Yesterday, Ben stepped past the line. The helper asked him to step back and wait. Love, Mina.
