Dr. Sherri has an Emotion Experiment to help us practice our social-emotional skills. She’ll talk about what to do if those big feelings have gotten the better of you, what makes an apology sincere, and how to make amends. It’s always important—for kids and for grown-ups—to know what steps they can take to make things right. We’ll build these skills by practicing different steps to take after making a mistake. How would your apology sound if you were an invisible wizard? What if you accidentally let a baby velociraptor loose, or messed up on your very first day as the tooth fairy’s apprentice?

Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña

Last Stop on Market Street

Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandma ride the bus across town. But today, CJ wonders why they don't own a car like his friend Colby. Why doesn’t he have an iPod like the boys on the bus? How come they always have to get off in the dirty part of town? Each question is met with an encouraging answer from grandma, who helps him see the beauty—and fun—in their routine and the world around them.

This energetic ride through a bustling city highlights the wonderful perspective only grandparent and grandchild can share, and comes to life through Matt de la Pena’s vibrant text and Christian Robinson’s radiant illustrations.
