READ ALOUD: Ms. Brown Reads A Letter to Amy by Ezra Jack Keats 

Hi friends!
In this book, Peter writes a letter to Amy to invite her to his birthday party. Seems like an easy task, right? Well, you're just going to have to see what happens next.
Until next time, have the best day ever!
P.S. This is a great opportunity to have conversations on friendships, mistakes, apologies, and/or forgiveness. Guide kiddos by asking them questions from both characters' perspectives to get the whole picture.
My go-to questions:
Why do you think Peter sends Amy a handwritten invitation?
How do you think Peter feels after running into Amy and making her cry?
How do you think Amy feels after bumping into Peter?
Why do you think Amy still goes to his birthday party?
Hypotheticals:
If you were Amy, what could you say if you were hurt by a friend? Why?
If you were Peter, what could you say if you hurt a friend? Why?
