This week's choice grid reminds us to slow things down!
Check out this choice grid about a sloth who finds himself at the zoom (instead of the Zzzzzoo). When the sloth tries to make friends, nobody has any time--until the sloth meets a creature who's a little more her speed, and everyone stops to notice. This story reminds us to slow down to enjoy the little things and making time for what matters.
