"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
~Mahatma Gandhi~

We are continuing our unit on Social Change.  This week, we continue to study the sub-themes of kindness, acceptance, and compassion.  We are reading Those Shoes and Each Kindness.  Each of these books have the class thinking about how to treat others and consider how others feel.  Check out the book, Those Shoes, and book trailer of Each Kindness below!  Last week, we read books with similar themes, including Nadia's Hands and The Sandwich Swap.  In Book Clubs this week, we will read different texts about Mahatma Gandhi, a man known for his strong beliefs and dedication to equality, freedom, and peace.  He has inspired many heroes of our time, including Dr. King and Nelson Mandela.  Ask your child about him this week!
