Q1 2023

January // GROW

In January, we are working on growing our hearts, minds, and muscles. Both of our books are about what you can do when faced with an enormous challenge. By reading these stories, you'll learn how to stand back up after falling down (literally and figuratively), and that even children, when driven to achieve something big, can encourage others to fight for what they believe in too. When we focus, all of us are capable of growing.

BOOKS

  • 8 & UNDER // After the Fall by Dan Santat
  • 8 & OLDER // The Last Panther by Todd Mitchell

February // COMMEMORATE

This February, we commemorate Black History in the United States. We do this by honoring, remembering, and teaching about our civil rights. We will read books about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black aviators in the United States military and about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech 60 years ago, but the message is still important today.

BOOKS

  • 8 & UNDER // I Have a Dream by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
  • 8 & OLDER // You Can Fly: The Tuskegee Airmen by Carole & Jeffery Boston Weatherford

March // BEFRIEND

In March we learn about friendship and love by reading a great book about a child who shows us what it means to be wonderfully unique. We challenge our Kids to work hard at being kind, realizing that we are all unique, and taking time to understand people who are different than they are.

BOOKS

  • 8 & UNDER // We're All Wonders by RJ Palacio

Q2 2023

April // CARE

Our focus in April is on ocean conservation. Scientific studies indicate that when someone shows enthusiasm for a subject and shares that information with others, their emotional connection to their cause is contagious. It is our goal this month to give our children the tools they need to understand the ocean and its role in our lives more in-depth, and to pass that knowledge along to others.

BOOKS

  • 8 & UNDER // Shark Lady by Jess Keating & Marta Alvarez Miguens
  • 8 & OLDER // Songs for a Whale by Lynn Kelly
