Summary
Page 1: Thomas was a bright boy .He loved to talk to his friends .But whenever Thomas talked to someone, he would stand very close. Page 2: Thomas didn’t know that his friends liked a little more space when they talked. Sometimes, they would step back, and Thomas didn’t understand why. Page 3: During class, the teacher took a chalk and drew a big circle on the floor Page 4: Mrs. Green took a piece of chalk and drew a big circle on the floor. “This is a special circle,” she said. “Let’s imagine it’s our personal space. Everyone has an invisible circle like this around them.” Page 5: She called one student, Sarah, to stand inside the circle. “Sarah is in her personal space. Now, if someone steps inside her circle without being asked, it feels too close,” Mrs. Green explained. “Let’s try to stay outside each other’s circles unless we are invited in.” Page 6: When it was Thomas’s turn, teacher asked him to stand inside the circle. His friends stayed outside, and they all smiled. Thomas could see that they were happy and comfortable talking from just the right distance. Page 7: “Good job, Thomas!” Mrs. Green said. “Remember, when we talk to our friends, we can give them some space by imagining their personal circle. That way, everyone feels happy.” Page 8: From that day on, Thomas practiced imagining the invisible circle when he talked to his friends. He still loved sharing stories about trains and dinosaurs, and now his friends were more comfortable than ever! Page 9: Thomas learned that personal space is important, and it made him an even better friend. And every time he saw a circle, it reminded him of the special game that helped him and his friends feel happy together. Page 10: And so, Thomas continued to grow, learn, and share, always remembering the magic of personal space!
