But she bonds with Connor, a classmate with his own disability to conquer. Then they discover a room at the park that holds bigger secrets than Aven ever could have imagined. ]]> 2021-10-27 08:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847631213 caitysess https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847634848 It all starts when six kids have to meet for a weekly chat--by themselves, with no adults to listen in. There, in the room they soon dub the ARTT Room (short for "A Room to Talk"), they discover it's safe to talk about what's bothering them--everything from Esteban's father's deportation and Haley's father's incarceration to Amari's fears of racial profiling and Ashton's adjustment to his changing family fortunes. When the six are together, they can express the feelings and fears they have to hide from the rest of the world. And together, they can grow braver and more ready for the rest of their lives.]]> 2021-10-27 08:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847634848 caitysess https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847638007 2021-10-27 08:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847638007 caitysess https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847640251 2021-10-27 08:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847640251 caitysess https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847644086 Raised in a once-peaceful area of Pakistan transformed by terrorism, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. So she fought for her right to be educated. And on October 9, 2012, she nearly lost her life for the cause: She was shot point-blank while riding the bus on her way home from school.]]> 2021-10-27 08:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847644086 caitysess https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847657472 Eight-year-old Jasmine Toguchi is a flamingo fan, tree climber, and top-notch mess-maker!

She's also tired of her big sister, Sophie, always getting to do things first. For once, Jasmine wishes SHE could do something before Sophie―something special, something different. The New Year approaches, and as the Toguchi family gathers in Los Angeles to celebrate, Jasmine is jealous that her sister gets to help roll mochi balls by hand with the women. Her mom says that Jasmine is still too young to join in, so she hatches a plan to help the men pound the mochi rice instead. Surely her sister has never done THAT before.

This TED Talk inspired me to learn more about current events so that I would not become one of those ignorant people who thinks that everyone is the same as them and everyone has the amenities and opportunities that they do.”]]> 2021-10-27 09:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/caitysess/8sb9kgleytraonrd/wish/1847687258
