Everyone wears clothes, and everyone’s clothes get dirty.
I need to learn to do my laundry to clean my clothes.
I put my dirty clothes into a hamper or basket.
When the hamper or basket is full, I sort my dirty clothes.
I sort dirty, light clothes and dirty, dark clothes.
I now have a pile of dirty, light clothes and a pile of dirty, dark clothes.
I put one of my piles of dirty clothes in the washer.
I add laundry detergent, close the washer and turn it on.
I wait until the washer is done.
I take the clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer.
I close the dryer, turn it on and wait until the dryer is finished.
I take my clothes out of the dryer and now my laundry is finished.
