"Ugh, I can't find my nature journal!" Rachel exclaimed.
Running around the house in panic, Rachel felt frustrated.
Strewn across the floor were books, blocks, and bins of toys.
Rachel hated cleaning up, and last night after playing, she'd avoided it.
BUZZ!
Ten minutes left until the bus was to arrive.
"Mom, have you seen my nature journal?"
"I'm sorry, honey, I haven't." Mom said.
Rachel had an idea: the basement. There, Mom kept an extra stack of notebooks for everyone in her family - in their own bin.
Viola! A new notebook. Perfect for today's bug study in science lab!
"I found one, Mom!" Rachel felt relieved. "And I promise to clean up and organize my toys from now on."
