5.G.1

A brand new class is starting at the Rubberdale library, and your racer and teammates get to decide the class rules. Are there rules that work at home, but don't work in the classroom?

Create a story designed to prepare your child for emergencies, like getting lost, responding to a fire alarm, or dealing with a power outage. Set the stage for what might happen, who might be there, what to do, what feelings might come up, and what to do when the emergency is over.

Someone you care about is having a really hard day. They're not acting like themselves—something seems off, like a warning light telling you to check in. What do you do? With a little advice from a wise friend, you'll learn that being a good friend isn't about fixing everything—sometimes it's about pulling over, showing up, and letting someone know they're not alone.
