Weekly Reader

This week's issue discusses the importance of getting along. The children will learn about some of the different ways they can get along with others in the class. Look at the pictures with your child ask him or her to identify the pictures that show children playing fairly. On the cover of this issue, there is a picture of Martin Luther King. Children learn that Martin Luther King was an African-American man who wanted people to learn how to treat one another fairly. He taught people how to solve problems without fighting, to help one another and to share.
When looking at the pictures together, ask "How are the children helping one another? Why might they be doing that? What do you think the children might say to each other?" Expand your child's critical thinking. Ask : "If someone one does not let you have a turn on the swings or on a tricycle, how do you feel? How might you let that person know he or she is not being fair?"
