Mightywaybooks Presents: Kids and Kindness - Encouraging stories for children 8-13.

In Chapter 10, Brittany wouldn't open a letter she received from her father. She didn't find out its contents until Tanya opened it and read it. Brittany didn't put much faith in learning her father wanted to attend the competition, but Tanya encouraged her to pray and believe that her dad would make it to North Carolina and see her jump.

In our last episode, Brittany and Tanya couldn't jump Double Dutch for a week. Coach Hughes wanted them to think about how they had not been truthful with Mr. Stevens regarding their family tree projects. Both girls agreed they would never again do anything to jeopardize jumping with their friends in the Double Dutch Club.

In Chapter 8, Tanya thought she could help Brittany by giving her her project. Unfortunately for the both of them Mr. Stevens gave them a deadline to finish their own projects and informed them their grades would be lowered. He also insisted they tell Coach Hughes what they had done. Fearful that Coach Hughes might drop them from the team, the girls cautiously approached her to share their confession.

Last week in Part One of Something to Jump About -Chapter 8, More Than a Friend, we left off with Brittany and Tanya agreeing to have their projects ready to turn in on Monday. Mr. Stevens also informed them that their grades would be lowered.

In our last episode, Brittany was surprised when Tanya didn't show up to turn in her Family Tree Project. When Mr. Stevens expressed his pleasure with the project, Brittany felt guilty knowing she had not done the work. Even though she felt she needed to tell Mr. Stevens the truth, Brittany first decided she needed to find her friend Tanya.
