A Busy Morning at the Rivera House
It is Monday morning and the Rivera family is getting ready for the day. Everyone is busy with their things.
Mr. Rivera is in the garage. His car is very clean — he washes it every Sunday. Mrs. Rivera is looking for her keys. She always forgets where she puts them! Their daughter, Camila, is waiting at the door with her backpack. Today is her birthday, so she is very excited.
Their son, Diego, is outside with his bicycle. He rides his bike to school every day. His helmet is red, and his backpack is blue. Grandpa Jorge is in the yard. His truck is very old, but he loves it. The truck's engine is powerful — its sound is very loud every morning!
The family dog, Bruno, is in his little house near the garden. The house is painted yellow — its door is always open. Bruno is looking out because he wants to play.
Before leaving, Mrs. Rivera says: "Do you have your lunch? Do you have your phone?" The children answer: "Yes! We have our things!" Mr. Rivera smiles and says: "Let's go. Our day is just beginning!"
