çünkü okulda her gün yeni şeyler öğreniyor ve arkadaşlarıyla oyunlar oynuyordu. Mert bugün yine sınıfta
arkadaşlarıyla koşarak oyun oynarken arkadaşının ayağına takıldı ve yere düştü. Çok canı yanmıştı ve
ağlamaya başladı. Mert’in ağladığını gören öğretmeni hemen yanına geldi ve neden ağladığını sordu. Mert
arkadaşıyla oyun oynarken onun ayağına takıldığını ve yere düştüğünü söylediğinde öğretmenleri onlara;
arkadaşlarınızla oyun oynarken kişisel alanlarınızı korumalısınız çocuklar. Eğer kişisel alanınızı korursanız hem
daha rahat oynar hem de kimseyi rahatsız etmezsiniz ve böylece birbirinizi yaralamazsınız” In this part, teacher

düşündü ve bundan sonra arkadaşlarıyla oyun oynarken kişisel alanını korumaya karar verdi. Eğer bir arkadaşı
