One thing you might notice in all three of these choices is that there was a change happening in each story. In one book, a new friendship...in another, a family moved, and in the last, a new baby was coming. How do you feel about things changing? Do you like change? Or do you fear change sometimes, because you're not sure what to expect? What is one way you can handle changes in your life?

*say "hello"
*ask him to play at recess

Our students did a fantastic job of making a text to text connection with Each Kindness and The Day You Begin.  They compared how Maya and Angelina were similar in the way they felt at the beginning of each of the stories.  They also made a strong connection to Maya and the boy on the playground, feeling excluded from the other group of children. They thought Each Kindness had a sad ending, but one student said that it was a good ending because "Chloe now is going to make better choices, and be kind."
Such a wonderful book!
