Going to a skating lesson
When I go to skating lessons, I will wear skates, a helmet, a jacket and gloves or mittens.

I will line up with my class and wait for my instructor.

I will remember that my skates are sharp and keep my feet down. I will not kick.

When I am on the ice, I will stay in my lessons area.

I will watch and listen to my instructor. I can ask questions if I do not understand something.

During my lesson I will practice old skills, learn new skills and play games.
When lesson time is up, I will leave the ice.
I will find my parent and go home.
