I am Luca. I am four years old, and I just started Kindy. It is exciting, but also a little bit scary. There are so many new things—new teachers, new friends, and a big new playground! Every morning, my grown-up walks me to the Kindy room. Some days, I feel happy. Other days, I feel nervous and want to stay longer. When I feel worried, my tummy feels funny, and I want to cry. Mrs. Kubicek showed me the Zones of Regulation chart. She told me feeling worried is the blue zone, and that it is okay. To feel better, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or give a big hug before saying, “See you later!” When I miss my family, I remember that they love me always, and I will see them again soon when I get home. This helps me feel safe. When I get to the Kindy room, I put my bag, crunch and sip, and water bottle in their places. This helps me get ready for the day. Before Kindy starts, I can play with the trucks and puzzles. Sometimes, I do this with Mum or Dad before they say goodbye. That helps me feel braver. Recess and Lunch At recess, all the children go outside to eat and play. I feel nervous and stay near the wall. Mrs. Kubicek notices and says, “Luca, would you like to sit with Milani and Bodhi?” I nod. Milani and Bodhi smile and say, “Come sit with us!” That makes me feel good inside. I move into the green zone—calm and happy! Sometimes, I want to stay with Mrs. Kubicek at recess and lunch. But when she leaves, I feel sad. She reminds me that it is important to play with my friends. I take a deep breath, press my hug button, and find Milani and Bodhi. Once I start playing, I feel much better! At the end of the day, I pack my bag and sit on the mat. When I see my grown-up waiting, I run to give them a big hug. “How was your day?” they ask.I smile and say, “I played with Milani and Bodhi.” Each day, I feel a little braver. If I feel nervous, I can take deep breaths, press my hug button, or ask for help. Kindy is full of adventures, and I am ready for them all!

The smell of boiled crawfish filled the Louisiana kitchen, mixing with steam rising from the big silver pot. The wooden table was covered in newspaper, already stained with seasoning, and piled high with bright red crawfish, steaming potatoes, and golden corn. Gage sat on his knees, eyes wide as he stared at the mound of crawfish in front of him. His little brother wiggled in his high chair, smacking the tray while Daddy leaned back with a grin, beer in hand. Momma rolled up her sleeves. “Alright, cher, time to learn how to peel a crawfish.” Gage hesitated. “What if I mess up?” Momma laughed, grabbing a fat crawfish. “Ain’t no wrong way, long as you get the meat out. But I’ll show you the right way.” She held the crawfish up. “First, grab it where the head and tail meet—right here. Now twist.” With a quick motion, she popped off the head. “Some folks suck the head for the good juices.” Gage gagged. “Ew, no way!” Daddy chuckled. “More for me, then!” Momma shook her head, smiling. “Alright, suit yourself. Now, pinch the end of the tail, squeeze a little, and pull.” She slid out the perfect piece of meat and dipped it in butter. “See? Easy.” Gage copied her, his fingers fumbling at first—twist, pinch, pull. Out came the juicy meat. “I did it!” Momma clapped. “That’s my boy! Now try it.” He dipped it in the butter and took a bite. His face lit up. “Mmm! That’s good!” His little brother babbled, reaching for the pile. Daddy laughed. “Looks like we got another crawfish lover.” The kitchen filled with laughter as they peeled and ate, passing corn and potatoes around. Gage wiped his hands and reached for another. “Momma, I think I’m getting good at this.” Momma ruffled his hair. “Told you, cher. Crawfish season ain’t just about eatin’. It’s about family.” And that night, under the warm glow of their Cajun kitchen, Gage became a true crawfish peeler.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful vineyard in a peaceful village surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. An elderly father and his son, Leo, lived in this vineyard. The father loved the vineyard dearly and worked hard every day to care for it. But Leo, on the other hand, was quite lazy and preferred to spend his days lounging under the shade of the trees. One sunny afternoon, the father fell ill. He knew he didn’t have much time left, so he called Leo to his bedside. “My dear son,” he said with a gentle smile, “I have hidden a great treasure in our vineyard. Promise me you won’t sell the land. Instead, dig and till every inch of the soil.” Leo’s eyes widened with excitement at the thought of treasure. He promised his father that he would do as he asked. Soon after, the father passed away, leaving Leo alone with the vineyard and the secret of the hidden treasure. Determined to find the treasure, Leo picked up a shovel and began to dig. Day after day, he worked tirelessly, turning over the soil and caring for the vines. He dug deep and wide, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find even a single coin. As the seasons changed, something magical happened. The vineyard, which had been quiet and still, began to come alive. The vines grew strong and healthy, bursting with juicy grapes. Leo was amazed at the transformation. When harvest time came, Leo gathered the grapes and took them to the market. To his surprise, people loved the grapes and paid him well for them. As he counted his earnings, Leo realized something important. The treasure his father spoke of wasn’t gold or jewels—it was the fruit of his hard work and dedication. From that day on, Leo understood the true value of diligence and effort. He continued to care for the vineyard, knowing that the real treasure lay in the joy of seeing his labor bear fruit. And so, the vineyard thrived, and Leo learned that sometimes, the greatest treasures are not
