Meeting Another Parent

Hi there! Are you waiting for the second-grade class too?

Yes, I am. My daughter is in Mrs. Miller's class. It's always a bit of a crowd here at pickup, isn't it?

It really is. I'm Sam's dad, by the way. My name is Alex. Which one is your daughter?

Nice to meet you, Alex! I'm Sarah. My daughter is Chloe. I think she's mentioned Sam before—they sit at the same table.

Oh, that's right! Sam mentioned her too. How has Chloe's week been so far?

She's been a bit tired, actually. They had a big science project due today, so she stayed up late finishing it.

I heard about that project. Sam was pretty stressed about it too. I'm glad the week is almost over.

Me too! Do you have any big plans for the weekend to celebrate finishing the project?

Not much, just a trip to the park if the weather stays nice. What about you?

We're just taking it easy. Oh, look, the doors are opening! There they are.
