Welcome to Litsy!

If everyone yells,
how will we be able to
hear one another?

Food for thought.

“She may be fast, but I‘m quick, and that‘s just the same.“

In The Quickest Kid in Clarksville by Pat Zietlow Miller, young Alta loves to run faster than anyone else in her town, but when a new girl, Charmaine, shows up with a pair of shiny new sneakers, Alta starts to wonder if she can still be the fastest.

an inspiring story about self-esteem, sportsmanship, and the power of kindness

“ 'All by myself
I gathered the sticks,
I built the fire,
I mixed the cake.
And
all by myself
I am going to eat it!' “

I think this book would pair well with The Grasshopper and The Ants! They have similar lessons.

One of my favorite folk tales! I like the lesson is for everyone to contribute equally- it isn't fair for one person to do all the work for you.

This book could be really good lesson in the beginning of the year to help students learn the importance of making new friends and keeping friends.
