kindergarten

Hi,
I have to write about kids activities in the kindergarten. Can you check if my sentences are correct, please?

-Bella and her friends played nicely in the shop. She was very friendly towards her peers.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Bella and her friends played nicely in the play store we have in the classroom. She was very friendly toward the other children.

However, I think I should say that some of the wording seems questionable. The two sentences seem to imply that Bella has had prob

I'd like to comment on your use of tenses.

This suggests you are talking about some occasion in the past.
