Before You Leave for School
By Patti Hutchison 		  
1     Rrrriiiinnnnnggg! The alarm goes off. Time to get up and go to school! You jump out of bed ready for a new day of learning. Okay, maybe you drag yourself out of bed wishing you could just crawl back in. Either way, you must go to school. With a carefully planned routine, you will be able to make the most of your day.
