В одной деревне жила чудесная маленькая девочка – «такая хорошенькая, что лучше ее и на свете не было». Бабушка подарила ей красную шапочку, и с тех пор девочка носила ее, не снимая. Все так привыкли видеть ее в этом головном уборе, что стали называть девочку не иначе как Красная Шапочка. Однажды мать попросила Красную Шапочку отнести бабушке, жившей в соседней деревушке, «пирожок и горшочек масла». Дорога в деревню шла через лес, и вскоре Красной Шапочке повстречался серый Волк. Он был очень голодный и с удовольствием бы съел девочку, но «где-то близко стучали топорами дровосеки», и он не посмел напасть на нее. Волк поинтересовался у Красной Шапочки, куда она держит путь. Доверчивая девочка не знала, как опасно разговаривать с незнакомцами. Она все рассказала Волку, и тот побежал к бабушке «что было духу по самой короткой дорожке». Красная Шапочка не заподозрила ничего плохого. Она шла по самой длинной дороге, «по пути то и дело останавливалась, рвала цветы и собирала в букеты». Волк был очень голодным, «потому что три дня ничего не ел». Увидев беспомощную старушку, он тут же проглотил ее. Затем он улегся в бабушкину постель и стал дожидаться Красную Шапочку. Девочка не сразу догадалась, что перед ней Волк, а не бабушка. Она лишь подивилась большим рукам, глазам и зубам. Волк кинулся на Красную Шапочку и проглотил ее. По счастью, мимо проходили дровосеки. Они бросились к волку, распороли ему брюхо, и «оттуда вышла Красная Шапочка, а за ней и бабушка — обе целые и невредимые»

Our Kindergarten class is learning how to deal with big emotions. When they are feeling overwhelmed by big emotions they should tell an adult they need a break, how we can help them or what is making them feel that way. We want to help them understand their feeling so that they will be able to learn to self-regulate. We encourage deep breathing, breaks, walks, alone time and telling adults how they feel.

The bear was so deeply affected by this tragedy that he fell into deep sadness and despair, not knowing how to find meaning in life and joy in every day. Every time he passed by his friends, he felt isolated and inferior, because the other bears could jump and run freely, but he remained on the sidelines. On one of these sad days, he heard from the forest dwellers about a magical tree that had incredible power and could fulfill any wish. This news lit a spark of hope in the bear's heart, and he decided that he should try to find this tree.

C’era una volta un gruppo di amici speciali, ciascuno rappresentante uno dei segni dello zodiaco. Un giorno, Ariete ebbe un’idea: "Voglio esplorare il Bosco delle Stelle e trovare il misterioso Fiore della Luna!" "Ma è pericoloso!" disse Toro. "Ci sono molte sfide nel bosco." "Non importa, siamo forti!" esclamò Ariete. E insieme a Gemelli, Leone, Cancro, e gli altri segni, partì alla ricerca del fiore. Ogni segno aveva un potere speciale. Vergine organizzò il cammino, Bilancia usò la bussola per non perdersi, Sagittario stava pronto a proteggere tutti con il suo arco, e Capricorno li incoraggiò a proseguire con calma.

Once upon a time in a small town called Lingüolandia, there were two very curious friends: Lila and Hugo. They both shared a passion for words and communication. One day, Lila found an old book in the town library. The title said: “The Secret of the Language.” Intrigued, she began to read. He discovered that the language was like a hidden treasure. It was a system of signs, rules and structures that allowed people to communicate. Each language had its own map, with paths and shortcuts to express ideas and emotions. Lila learned that Spanish, English, and French were different languages, but they all shared common characteristics. He imagined the language as a garden full of flowers of different colors and shapes. Each flower represented a word, and the branches connected the words into sentences. Lila marveled at the beauty and complexity of this linguistic garden.

Once upon a time, in a charming little village nestled between rolling green hills, there lived a cheerful young fairy named Pixie. With her bright pink wings that sparkled in the sunlight and her mischievous twinkle in her eyes, Pixie loved to explore the wonders of the world around her. One sunny morning, as Pixie fluttered around the village, she found something truly enchanting. It was a babydoll, with rosy cheeks, big blue eyes, and a dress made of the softest fabric. Pixie picked up the babydoll gently and hugged it close. She instantly felt a magical connection, as if they were destined to be best friends. Pixie named the babydoll "Bella," and from that day on, they were inseparable. Together, Pixie and Bella went on many whimsical adventures. They danced with butterflies in flower-filled meadows, splashed in glistening streams, and even made friends with the talking animals of the forest. One day, as Pixie and Bella played near a bubbling brook, they heard a faint cry for help. Following the sound, they discovered a tiny, lost squirrel named Nutty, who had fallen into a deep hole. Pixie knew she had to help her newfound friend. With Bella by her side, she hatched a clever plan. She tied a long piece of vine to Bella and carefully lowered her into the hole. Nutty grabbed hold of Bella, and Pixie used all her fairy strength to pull them both to safety. Grateful and relieved, Nutty thanked Pixie and Bella with a basket full of acorns and berries. They shared a delicious picnic together and celebrated their new friendship. As the sun set, Pixie and Bella returned to their cozy fairy house, feeling proud of their brave adventure. They snuggled up in Pixie's soft bed, and Pixie whispered, "Thank you, Bella, for being the best friend a fairy could ever have." And so, Pixie and her babydoll Bella lived happily ever after, embarking on many more magical adventures together, always surrounded by the love and laughter of their friends.
