Instruction: 1. illustration very simple During the Civil War, the Transcontinental Railroad aimed to link the U.S. coasts. The Central Pacific Railroad started in Sacramento, CA, employing Chinese laborers, and the Union Pacific in Omaha, NE, with Irish immigrants, Civil War veterans, and freed slaves. Up to 20,000 Chinese workers joined, including 12-year-old Li Wei and his father, who faced discrimination with lower pay and no food or housing. The work was extremely dangerous, with rockslides, explosions, and avalanches, especially in the Sierra Nevada, where workers faced harsh winters and isolation. Sadly, Li Wei’s father died in a rockslide. In 1867, Li Wei and many Chinese workers went on strike for better pay and conditions, but saw limited success. Tensions rose with Native American tribes, like the Cheyenne, who derailed a train near Plum Creek, NE, reflecting the challenges of westward expansion. Despite these struggles, progress continued. On May 10, 1869, the railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, UT, marking a new era in American transportation. Afterward, Li Wei and others faced discrimination in finding work and often lived in isolated Chinatowns. On October 24, 1871, violence erupted in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, killing 19 Chinese, including Li Wei’s friend. In 1875, grieving, Li Wei returned to China. The Transcontinental Railroad was transformative, yet costly for Chinese workers who made up most of the Central Pacific workforce. Facing discrimination and hazardous conditions, they were key to the railroad’s completion. Over 1,200 Chinese workers died, highlighting their sacrifice. Despite advancing U.S. infrastructure, they encountered ongoing hostility and laws against them. Their resilience underscores their overlooked role in shaping 19th-century America.

there was a Sun who lived high in the sky. Every day, it shone brightly, warming the Earth and spreading light to all living things. However, despite its efforts, the Sun often felt sad. Thick clouds would drift in and cover its light, making the Sun feel unnoticed and unappreciated. The Sun wondered why the clouds always blocked it. “Why do they stop my light from reaching the Earth?” it thought. “Maybe the Earth prefers the clouds over me.” These thoughts made the Sun feel even lonelier and less important. As the days passed, the Sun’s sadness grew deeper. It began to believe that its light was no longer needed. “Perhaps the Earth would be better off without me,” the Sun sighed, feeling lost and unsure of its purpose in the sky. One day, the Sun gathered its courage and decided to speak to the clouds. “Why do you always cover my light?” it asked with a heavy heart. The clouds floated gently and answered, “Oh, dear Sun, we don’t mean to block you. We are here to protect the Earth from too much heat and to bring rain that helps plants and animals survive.” The Sun was surprised by the clouds’ reply. It had never realized that the clouds were not trying to compete with it but were actually working alongside it. “So, we’re working together to take care of the Earth?” the Sun asked curiously. The clouds smiled and said, “Yes, your warmth and light are as important as our rain. Together, we keep the Earth balanced.” Hearing this, the Sun felt a sense of relief and pride. It understood that even when its light was hidden behind the clouds, it was still making a difference. The Sun realized it wasn’t alone; it had a vital role in supporting life on Earth. From that day forward, the Sun shone brightly with joy and confidence. It and the clouds worked in harmony, ensuring the Earth stayed warm, nourished, and full of life. The Sun learned an important lesson: everyone has a purpose, and even when its light wasn’t always seen, it still mattered deeply.

We have to go!" Luwam: (nervous) "The woods are scary at night!" Sewit: "Don’t worry. We’ll stay together." ________________________________________ The sisters held the lantern tightly as they entered the dark forest. The trees swayed, and strange sounds filled the air.

Why did you run off?" Kudus: (innocently) "I saw this glowing rock and wanted to follow it." Luwam: "You scared us! Don’t run away like that again."

We’re stronger when we stick together." ________________________________________ The three of them held hands and walked home, the lantern lighting their way. Kudus never wandered off alone again, knowing his sisters would always look out for him.

1. Karmie woke up in her bed, the sun peeking through her curtains. Her stuffed animals sat on her shelf and her favorite purple blanket made her feel warm. 2. She went to the bathroom where The sink was just the right height for her to reach, and her toothbrush had sparkly stars on it. She giggled as the minty bubbles filled her mouth. 3. Karmie skipped into the kitchen, where her breakfast waited for her. The smell of pancakes made her tummy rumble. She liked the way her chair fit just right at the table, and how the window let in the morning light. 4. After breakfast, it was time for some cartoons. Karmie settled onto the big, soft couch in the living room, hugging her dog, Reese, close. She loved this room, where she could cuddle up and watch her favorite shows. 5. It was time for Karmie and Reese to go outside. The trees were tall. Reese wagged his tail as they walked by the park, where Karmie played with her friends. 6.That night, her adults sat down with her. “Karmie,” they said, “we have some exciting news! We’re going to move to a new home soon.” Karmie felt her heart skip. 7. She held Reese's leash tightly as they walked to the moving truck. “I hope I like the new house,” she whispered to Reese. 8.

Beginning: A young student (or the whole class) notices their teacher’s tattoos and starts wondering why an adult would have drawings on their skin. Some kids might think it's cool, while others may have been told that tattoos are bad or scary. Tattoos are art and a form of self-expression. Everyone has different ways of telling their story. Judging others based on appearances is not fair. Creativity comes in many forms—books, paintings, music, and even tattoos! Diversity makes the world a more beautiful place Middle: The teacher shares the meaning behind some of their tattoos—maybe one represents family, another is a favorite book character, and another is a beautiful design they loved. They explain that tattoos are like artwork on skin, just like paintings in a museum or illustrations in a book. The students begin to see tattoos in a new way and start thinking about what kind of art or stories they would want to express. End: The class embraces the idea that tattoos are just another way of sharing stories and creativity. Maybe the students create their own “tattoos” with washable markers or drawings on paper, designing artwork that represents their favorite things. The book ends with the teacher reminding them that everyone expresses themselves in different ways, and that’s what makes the world colorful and exciting!
