One week left until Buddy starts second grade. Second grade? Seriously, how did that happen?
The word on the street in our town is that second grade is known for having a crazy amount of homework. Oh boy.
He’s done a good amount of reading this summer (mostly dinosaur books) and practiced his math in his Star Wars workbook, but back-to-school is also a great time to reinforce the life lessons that are often taught outside the classroom. Because, at least in my book, teaching the values of kindness and acceptance are just as important as any academic learnings.
Here are some titles (including some of our all-time faves) from Netflix to remind your kids about the importance of kindness and empathy:
