First Grade Social Justice - Mr. Peabody's Apples:  A Story about Gossip and the Power of our Words by Stephanie Rotsky L eading up to Yom Kippur, the first graders heard the story Mr. Peabody's Apples. Before reading the book, we looked at a timeline of ten days that stretches between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur - sometimes referred to as the Days of Awe - and we talked about how we have an opportunity during these days to make a plan to be our best selves for the coming year. Mr. Peabody's Apples was introduced as a story where one child's words about another person caused great harm to that person.

First Grade Social Justice  Final Unit of the Year One Idea Can Have a Huge Impact on Making the World Better In our final 7 weeks of school, the first graders will be reading the stories below that are all non-fiction and all connect to a person or group of people who had an idea and then let that idea take flight which ultimately improved the lives of others. We launched the unit with the book: What Do You Do With An Idea by Kobi Yamada. We hope this collection of stories inspires the first graders to consider how their ideas have potential to help make their community and the world a better place! Ask your child: What did the child do with his idea at first? Why was he reluctant to pay attention to it and share it with others? What did he decide to do with his idea in the end? Ask your child: How did the gift of a goat improve the life of Beatrice's family in several different ways in Western Uganda?  What organization did we learn abou...
