Lily Learned How to Recycle by Bella Liu 建議年紀：4-8歲 音樂來源： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVsuTxQ_vdg Once upon a time a little girl named Lily didn’t know how to recycle. She threw everything in the trash can.  One day her mom taught her how to do recycle, but the next day,  Lily forgot what her mom taught her and kept throwing recycle things in the trash can.  Her mom was very upset because Lily was not listening to her. Suddenly, an idea came to mommy’s mind.  She took a plastic bottle and called Lily to come over. She was going to show Lily how to turn the plastic bottle into useful things.  She was going to turn the bottle into some crafts. She was going to make a doll! First, mommy asked Lily to draw eyes, a nose and a mouth with crayons on the bottle.  Next, mommy got a piece of paper.  She told Lily to cut the paper into some long and thin stripes very carefully, and color them black.  Then, she wanted Lily to glue the stripes onto the bottle and make clothes, legs and shoes for the doll. They made a cute girl doll! All done! Lily finally knew that she should recycle materials that can be turned into some other useful things. They should not be thrown in the trash cans. Since then, when Lily drank water with plastic bottles, she would remember to throw them in the recycle bin! The end Boys and girls, do you do recycle? Hope you remember to do recycle after reading the story. Let’s save the planet together! Thank you for buying us a jar of candy! Mamimoon will read more stories.

Jacqueline and the Beanstalk: A Tale of Facing Giant Fears  by Susan D. Sweet and Brenda S. Miles Illustrated by Valeria Docampo 建議年紀：4-8歲 音樂來源： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVsuTxQ_vdg 杰奎琳公主一向都是受著保護，但她從來都不覺得有什麼危險的事。有一次，她爬上豆莢樹，向大家證明：巨人並沒有什麼好害怕的！ Twirl 轉圈跳舞 Nasty 討厭 Insist 堅持 Suit yourself 隨便你 Chime 鐘聲響起 Sword劍 Squash 擠壓 Delightful愉快 Once upon a time there lived a princess named Jacqueline. The royal knights protected her – from EVERYTHIING! “Shields up! There might be danger!” “But there might not be,” said the princess, “and I can’t see!” Shields up! There might be danger!” “But there might not be,” said the princess, “and I can’t twirl!” Shields up! There might be danger!” “But there might not be,” said the princess, “and I can’t reach!” The knights worried most when Jacqueline walked by the beanstalk. “Helloooo, Mr. Giant!” she called. “Shhhh！He might hear,” said a knight. “He’s nasty,” said another. “My tummy hurts just thinking about him.” “But you’ve never climbed up to meet him,” said Jacqueline. “What if he’s nice?” “Nuh uh! He’s different, and different means danger.” “We’ll never know if we don’t go,” the princess insisted. “Hark, no! We won’t go!” “Suit yourselves,” said the princess. Later, when midnight chimed, the princess climbed. And at the top… “Ahhhh! Human! Different! Danger!” “Me? Dangerous? I’m the size of your toenail!” “True,” said the giant, “but your kingdom is dangerous!” “You’ve never climbed down to meet us. We’re actually quite nice,” said the princess. “You’ll never know if you don’t go!” “My tummy hurts just thinking about it,” said the giant. “But it does get lonely up here.” “Then take a deep breath,” said the princess. “We’ll climb down together.” And so they did – one step at a time. “Helloooo, royal knights,” Jacqueline called as the kingdom came closer. “Shields up! Protect the princess! Wait! Where is the princess?” “I’m up here, and there’s nothing to fear!” But at the bottom… “Ahhhh! Knights! Swords! Poking!” “Ahhhh! Giant! Stepping! Squashing!” “Wait!” said the princess. “No one’s going to poke or squash anyone!” “Maybe you’re right…” said the knights. “Shields down.” “I guess…” said the giant. “Feet down.” Feeling less worried took some time, but then the whole kingdom started to climb! Soon everyone learned that different wasn’t dangerous.  It was delightful! And forever after, the princess never missed a thing. In fact, she had the best view of all! Quiz  1. What was the main character’s name? Jack, Sarah, or Jacqueline? Jacqueline 2. The princess can go and do anything without protection. True or false? False 3. The princess was scared of everything. True or false? False 4. The princess climbs the beanstalk to find a mean creature! True or false? False 5. The giant was terrified of the humans and called them dangerous. True or false? True 6.

She knew parents and members of the community would be glad to pay money in order to try foods from all over the world! “That’s a great idea,” Amy’s teacher said. “Let’s call it ‘Dinner around the World’.” Amy brought in her favorite meal, chicken with mashed potatoes. Her friend Amina was from Ethiopia, an African country. She brought in stewed meat with spices over rice pilaf with Ethiopian bread.

Lifelong learner 建議年紀：2-6歲 音樂來源： https://www.getepic.com/app/read/40127 We live in a world that prizes education. But most people think of education only in terms of formal classes. On a personal level, learning can be fun. It can deepen your conversations by giving you something to talk about. And it’s good for your brain. Hobbies that require thought can help you keep your mental abilities as you age. Just as exercise makes your muscles stronger, your mind becomes sharper when you use it. So how do you become a lifelong learner? It starts with making a choice to do so. You need to be determined to keep making the effort to lean when it isn’t easy. Try finding time to learn throughout your day. Carry a book with you, and read when you have to wait. Audiobooks and podcasts are also helpful resources. You can listen to them while traveling or doing chores. Finding ways to use what you learn can help you remember things. If you’re learning a language, find someone who speaks that language and talk to them. Maybe you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too! Remember, never stop discovering new things about the world around you. Thank you for buying us a jar of candy! Mamimoon will read more stories.

Fun runs 建議年紀：2-6歲 音樂來源： https://www.getepic.com/app/read/40127 If you think that marathon runs are too long, you should try a fun run. A fun run can be a road run or a cross-country run. Most of them are not more than 5KM long. No one wins or loses. Two of the popular fun runs are the Color Run and the Zombie Run. Many people say that the Color Run is the happiest 5 K on the planet. At the end of the race, all of the runners are laughing at one another because they are so “colorful”. The Zombie Run is exciting because the runners have to run away from the zombie players. If the runner loses three flags, that runner is out of the game. They all sound fun, don’t they? Go online and join the next run now! Thank you for buying us a jar of candy!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – from https://kids.niehs.nih.gov/topics/reduce/index.htm 建議年紀：3-7歲 音樂來源： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDIccWzH4NY eliminate排除 Reduce減少用量 Reuse再利用 Recycle 回收 Read by Ellie “There are many ways to save our planet. One, don’t eat meat. Two, don’t waste food and water. Three, recycle. Four, grow many trees. Five, bike more.” >>Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — Three great ways YOU can eliminate waste and protect your environment! The environment is everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things.  And since by now you probably know that you need a healthy environment for your own health and happiness, you can understand why effective waste management is so important to YOU and everyone else.  The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health. >>What exactly is "waste?" Waste is anything we throw away or get rid of, that doesn’t get used. >>Recycle: Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products.   Here is a list of things you may be able to recycle • Aluminum cans • Cardboard • Electronic equipment • Glass (particularly bottles and jars) • Magazines • Metal • Newspaper • Paper • Plastic Bags • Plastic Bottles • Steel Cans • Writing/Copy Paper • Yard Waste (leaves, grass)   >>Reduce: to make something smaller or use less, resulting in a smaller amount of waste. Think of the product packaging when shopping. The packaging is usually used once and then thrown away. We don’t want to buy products with a lot of packaging. It is very important to reduce packaging waste. >>Reuse: to use again or more than once. You can "reuse" materials in their original form instead of throwing them away, or pass those materials on to others who could use them too!   Think of something that you can pass on to other people.

Doing Nothing – read by Ellie 建議年紀：3-7歲 音樂來源： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDIccWzH4NY Do you know that doing nothing is hard? We always hear people say stuff like,  “Ah.. I wish I could just go home and do nothing all day long.”  But, have you actually considered how difficult doing nothing could be? Okay, let me tell you what doing nothing from my perspective means. I would wake up in the morning open my eyes, I would remember that today I couldn’t do nothing.  So instead of getting up and eating breakfast, I just lay there in my bed and think about food. I can’t eat breakfast because eating breakfast is doing something. So, I just lay there trying to forget about food.   It’s so hard though. I could see my candy bag on my table. It is filled with delicious candy. But I need to stop. I can’t think, remember? I can’t do anything today. Ah.. And that coca cola bottle in the fridge is calling me. I could hear it say, “Ellie… I’m here waiting for you.” I just can’t. It’s so hard just sit there and do nothing. It’s okay. I don’t need to go to school or do my homework. But food? I need food.

It eats small snakes, lizards, insects, and seeds.  Though it is very beautiful, its voice is very ugly. It has a horrid scream that could scare you so much! Thank You! In this story, Ellie talked about the peacock’s feathers, its tail, it’s voice, and what it likes to eat. Boys and girls, do you like peacocks? And why? You may talk about it with your parents.

Gingerbread Man – read by Ellie 建議年紀：3-7歲 音樂來源： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDIccWzH4NY Last December, my class had heard stories about runaway gingerbread men for a whole week. I didn’t believe a word of it. I said, “They can’t run for real.” I hope you’re right, my teacher said. We were going to bake our cookies that day. That afternoon, my friends and I poured in the flour, sugar, and some dark sticky stuff called molasses and mixed it all together until we made dough even though my arms got tired. I rolled it flat and cut it in the shape of a gingerbread man. I gave him raisins for eyes, a cinnamon drop for a mouth, and chocolate chips for buttons. Then I put the gingerbread man in the oven to bake. When I opened the oven door, the gingerbread man jumped up and ran out the door shouting, “Don’t eat me!”  I chased him through the school, down passed the 7-11, and through Linkou outlets mall until I cornered him. It began to rain. Heavy typhoon like rain. A bird chirped over to the gingerbread man and said, “jump on my tail, I’ll cover you in my nest.” So the gingerbread mand jumped on. Halfway up to the nest, the bird chirped, “You are too heavy for my tail, jump on my back.” So the gingerbread man jumped on the bird’s back. Soon, the bird said, “You’re too heavy for my back, jump onto my beak.” So, the gingerbread man jumped on the bird’s beak. But as soon as they reached the nest, the bird flipped the gingerbread man into the air, snapped his mouth shut, and ate the gingerbread man. And that was the end of the gingerbread man. Maybe he shouldn’t have run out of my oven. Thank you. Thank you for buying us a jar of candy! Mamimoon will read more stories.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears - from storiestogrowby 建議年紀：3-7歲 音樂來源： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDIccWzH4NY 金髮女孩和三隻熊 小朋友，你有聽過這個故事嗎？ 金髮女孩的媽媽說，千萬不可以進去森林裡。 但，她忘了。她到了熊的家，當時熊都不在家，她就這樣走進去了！ 她吃了他們的麥片、坐壞了椅子、睡了他們的床。 直到熊回來發現了金髮女孩，本來熊很生氣，但後來就原諒她了。 如果你是熊，麥片被吃了、椅子被坐壞了、又有人睡在你的床， 你會生氣嗎？為什麼呢？請跟爸爸媽媽說說你的感想吧！   knock 敲門 oatmeal 麥片 attic 閣樓 gazing 凝視 plopped噗通一聲向下墜 bolted awake立刻爬起來 looming over 龐然大物出現 wailed 哀號 Once upon a time a girl named Goldilocks lived in a house at the edge of the woods. In those days curls of hair were called "locks." She was "Goldilocks" because golden hair ran down her head and shoulders.   One morning Goldilocks was out for a walk when she came across a beautiful bird. She followed that bird right into the woods, where her mother had said many times she must never go. But Goldilocks didn’t think of that. Deeper and deeper into the woods she went. But where was the bird? It was nowhere to be seen. Goldilocks looked around. That's when she knew she was lost.   But a house was not far away. “I wonder who lives there,” she thought, "so deep into the woods." She went up and knocked on the door. No answer. She knocked again. Still no answer. Goldilocks knocked a third time and the door opened. But no one was behind the door.   “Well, the door is already open,” said the girl. “So I may as well go in.” Goldilocks smelled a wonderful smell, and soon knew why. On the table were three steaming bowls of oatmeal. All of a sudden she realized how very hungry she was. What Goldilocks did not know, however, is that three bears lived in this house. In fact, that very morning the three bears had sat down to their bowls of oatmeal but the cereal was too hot. So they had decided to take a short walk. They said to each other, "By the time we return home our oatmeal will be perfect." Gazing at the steaming bowls of oatmeal, Goldilocks thought, “I'm sure whoever lives here won’t mind if I take just one sip.” She sat at the first chair and took a sip. “Ah!” she said, “it is too hot.” She moved to the next bowl and took a sip. “Ah!” she said, “it is too cold.” She moved to the third bowl and took a sip. “It is just right!” And before she knew it, the oatmeal was all gone.   Goldilocks rubbed her tummy. “I'm full! I must find somewhere to sit that's more comfortable.”   She went to the living room. Three chairs were lined up in a row – one big chair, one medium-sized chair, and a wee little chair. “I'm sure whoever lives here will not mind if I sit on just one chair,” said Goldilocks. She sat on the big chair, but it was too hard.  “The next chair looks good,” said Goldilocks. She moved to the medium-sized chair, but it was too soft. “The wee little chair looks better,” said the girl. She sat on the little chair and it was just right! But when Goldilocks leaned back a bit, the chair broke into a dozen pieces. She plopped right on the floor. “Oh, no!” Goldilocks wailed. Then she yawned. There must be somewhere she could lie down for a short nap. The girl saw a ladder and climbed it to an attic. In a row, three beds were lined up – one big bed, one medium-sized bed, and a wee little bed.   “I'm sure whoever lives here won’t mind if I lay down for just a short nap,” she said. She laid down on the big bed but it was too hard. She laid down on the medium-sized bed but it was too soft. The girl laid down on the wee little bed, and it was just right! As her head hit the pillow, Goldilocks was fast asleep. Just then, the three bears came home from their walk. "Oh, my!" said Mama Bear. “Did either of you leave the front door open?”  “Not I,” said Papa Bear.  "Not I," said Little Bear. Slowly the three bears stepped inside and looked around.    “Most odd!” said Papa Bear, seeing his spoon in his bowl. “Someone has been eating my oatmeal!” “Most odd indeed!” said Mama Bear, also seeing her spoon in her bowl. “Someone has been eating my oatmeal!” “This is the most odd of all!” said Little Bear. “Someone has been eating my oatmeal and they ate it all up!” The three bears were very surprised, as you can imagine. With care, they stepped into their living room. “Do you think someone was sitting in my chair?” said Papa Bear. “I know someone was sitting in my chair,” said Mama Bear, “because I can see the seat cushion is pushed down.” “And I know someone was sitting in my chair!” said Little Bear. “Because it’s all broken!” The three bears were even more surprised at that! They climbed the ladder to their attic.   “Someone has been sleeping on my bed,” said Papa Bear, who could see that his blankets were moved. “Someone has been sleeping on my bed, too,” said Mama Bear, who could also see that her blankets were moved. “Someone has been sleeping on my bed,” said Little Bear. “And look - she is still there!” Goldilocks bolted awake. Three bears were looming over her, and they did not look happy. “Oh my!” said Goldilocks, jumping out of bed. As quick as she could, she climbed down the ladder and ran out the front door. Little Bear chased after her. "Wait, please!" Goldilocks stopped and turned around.  "Tell me," said Little Bear, “Why did you come inside our house?” “I guess I didn’t think–,“ said Goldilocks.  “And why did you eat my oatmeal?” said Little Bear. “Well I guess I didn’t think–,“ said Goldilocks. “And why did you break my chair and sleep in my bed?” said Little Bear. “Well I guess I didn’t think about that, either,” said Goldilocks. They were silent. Goldilocks said, “I suppose I could have waited outside your door.” “We were coming right home,” said Mama Bear. "We might have invited you in if we knew you were hungry." “I’m sorry about the chair,” said Goldilocks. “I guess you saw it broke.” "Yep," said Mama Bear with a frown. “I’m good at fixing things,” said Goldilocks, “If you have glue.” “Of course we have glue!” said Papa Bear. “What kind of bears do you think we are?” “I will make it up to you!” said Goldilocks.  “Come on in then, dear,” said Mama Bear.  “We'll start over,” said Papa Bear with a nod. “Come in, come in!” said Little Bear, jumping up and down.   With smiles, they skipped together inside the Bear’s house. Boys and girls, do you think Goldilocks has made a mistake? Remember what she did? She forgot what her mom told her not to get into the forest. She went into the house that there was nobody inside. She ate the oatmeal, she broke the chair, and she slept in the bed. But, the bears are so kind. They forgive Goldilocks so easily. If you were the bears, would you be happy to see all the things that happened in your house? You may talk about it with your parents. Thank you for buying us a jar of candy!
