Grandpa John took his Grandson Orrie and his friend, Jay to the movies. There is special seating for wheelchairs behind the last row of seats. This is where Orrie needs to sit. There are chairs in this area, where friends can sit with the child or adult in a wheelchair.

While Orrie is getting settled in the theater, Jay stands on line to get a bag of popcorn for himself and one for Orrie. He meets Hector on line and Hector invites him to sit with him in the front of the theater where he tells Jay he can see the movie better. Jay has been waiting to see this movie and doesn’t want to miss any of it.

Is it okay for Jay to give Orrie his popcorn and tell him he is going to sit up front with Hector and will see him after the movie is over? What else can he do? What about asking Hector to sit with him and Orrie in the special seating area? Then they could all watch the movie together. 

Kathy is the best at jumping rope of all the kids on “Can Do” Street. Kathy knows it is great exercise and a lot of  fun. She is also  a member of the “Can Do” kids Cooking Club. She never misses a meeting.

Kathy has her problems though…she is not a good eater. She doesn’t like to eat breakfast and sometimes fall asleep in class, during the morning, because without breakfast she doesn’t have the energy to stay awake and pay attention. Nurse Diane, when she visited Kathy’s class,  spoke to her about what she could eat  in the morning, before school, that would give her the energy to stay awake and learn.

Be sure to check out the program called ” Food is Fuel”and find out what Kathy and her classmates learned about the foods you need to eat to help your body grow and to have the energy, not only to learn, but to have fun doing the things you like to do.

Jay loves to swim. He lives near a beach but sometimes there is no lifeguard.

Is it okay for Jay to swim when there is no lifeguard?

Bobby lives five houses away from the community center and usually walks home with his friend Jay, who lives next door to him. Sometimes, when Jay isn’t at the community center, Bobby walks home by himself and cuts through the alley, behind the houses instead of taking the sidewalk that leads from the community center to his house.

Do you think it is a good idea for Bobby to walk home alone? Do you think Bobby should ever use the alley, even when Jay is with him? What would you do if you were Bobby?
