Welcome,Carlos!

Welcome, Carlos!

One late summer day, Carlos sat at the kitchen table. He wanted to begin his poster. He had found paper, glue, and colored markers. He had a box of family photos. But what should I put on it? he thought.

Soon, Carlos would start school in a new town, in a new country. He had just met his new school principal. “ You can bring this poster on the first day of school, Carlos, " his principal had said. " This will help the kids get to know you. "

Carlos picked photos of his family. He added one of their old home in Monterrey, Mexico. He wrote about the books, sports, and foods he liked.

He carried his poster across the hall of his apartment building. He knocked on the door, and a smiling girl opened it. “ Hola, Carlos! ” said Maria.

" Hola, Maria, " said Carlos. " Do you want to see my poster? It's for the first day of school. " " Oh, yes! ” said Maria.
