Camila: Ms. Okafor, it's raining really hard. Are we still going out to the playground for recess?

Ms. Okafor: Not today. We will stay in the classroom. You can play a board game or draw at your desk.

Camila: Can I use the new markers on the art shelf?

Ms. Okafor: Yes, you may. Just put the caps back on when you finish, or the markers will be dried out by tomorrow.
