Dec. 14: SASSAFRAS THE SCAREDY SQUID: A focus on Consent
It’s not that Sassafrass is sassy. They are just scared that not everyone has had a hug today! Go “under the sea” with Sparkle Leigh to an ocean of no sharks (they’re all on vacation on the moon)! Follow along as we read some books and chat about about the importance of “personal bubbles,” as well as a little bit about “Stranger Danger!” Not all hugs are bad, but asking a friends’ permission won’t make them sad!

Feb 8: BARRY THE SAD SUNFLOWER: A focus on Big Emotions
At the “Not-So-Super-Market,” a loudspeaker announcement says “ALL flowers are on sale!” Sparkle gets there and only finds one lonely sunflower.

Howdy farm folk! Join Sparkle in the “Baryard of Bubbles,” for a chat about how bullying can hurt feelings. Not only is this Barnyard unique because it’s an Animal Sanctuary, it’s also on the Moon!
