Ms. Hansenʼs Reading Circle Explores Kindness and Friendship

Mrs. Hansen’s first graders eagerly gather for reading circle time as she reads The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. The class follows the adventures of Ralph, a curious mouse, and Keith Gridley, a kind-hearted boy who befriends him. Throughout the book, Mrs. Hansen leads a discussion on kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. The students reflect on how Keith’s generosity in sharing his toy motorcycle and Ralph’s apology for mistakes strengthen their friendship. Through this heartwarming story, the children learn that true friends support each other, show understanding, and always choose kindness.

Character Education at Home

Encourage your child to share and show kindness in their daily interactions. Teach them to apologize when they make mistakes and to forgive with compassion. Model these behaviors at home by praising acts of kindness, practicing empathy, and discussing how true friends support and understand each other
