FROM MRS. MUNSON

            This week discuss with your student: “I will include others”. When we include others, it opens ourselves up to different ideas, perspectives, and thoughts. Including others in your circle is important because you never know what you may be able to teach (and learn from!) each other.

Here are some books to read together:

·       The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi

·       When I Care About Others by Cornelia Maude Spelman
