Based on the real-life daughter of actor Jamie Hector, Chloé asks questions most children wonder about and builds key social‑emotional skills as she solves them with her family’s help. Chloé learns about various cultures, takes responsibility for her little brother and her cat, figures out how to handle stress in school, and more. Grades 1–2 • 5 full-color 16-page books

Dear Family, Meet Chloé—a smart and curious 7-year-old with a lot of heart. Based on the real-life daughter of author and actor Jamie Hector, Chloé loves to learn new things—and that means asking a lot of questions! Nurturing children’s curiosity, as Chloe’s family does, is key to building self-motivated learners who not only perform better academically, but also experience increased personal well-being. 1 The ability to cope with challenges is one of the most important skills you can help your child cultivate.The Chloé books correlate with theYale Child Study Center's resilience framework and the five core competencies from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL).This will help you develop your child’s resilience and social and emotional learning (SEL).The resilience framework guides children to build identity, form relationships,

set goals, take action, and think optimistically. SEL helps children develop a healthy understanding of themselves, their emotions, and their relationship to the world. 2 Building SEL skills and exploring literature will help your child become a confident, well- rounded reader who is also healthy, responsible, and socially aware.

“Chloé, take a big, deep breath in. Then let it out very slowly as you count to 10,” says Dad. Chloé takes a really deep breath and counts to 10 on her fingers as she lets out the air.

“Now say, ‘I can do this,’” says Dad. “I can do this,” says Chloé softly. “Do it again,” says Dad.

Chloé rubs Butter’s fur, but Butter does not purr. “Why do you look so sad?” Chloé asks Butter. “Dad, why is Butter sad?” Chloé asks her father. Dad comes in to look at Butter. Butter rubs on Chloé’s legs.

Later that day, Butter does not want to play. “Butter won’t play with me, Chloé,” pouts Sajés.

“This is it!” exclaims Chloé. “This is the style for me!” “I like it!” says Malika. “It’s perfect!” agrees Mom.

Malika gets to work washing and drying Chloé’s hair. Then she parts Chloé’s hair and puts hair oil in the parts. Malika begins to braid each section.

Lupita asks, “Is this where you live?” “Yes, in Chinatown,” answers Ming. “Is everyone who lives in your building Chinese?” “Not everyone!”

When they finish setting the tables, Joy goes to help Lola Rita. Lola Rita is making her famous lumpia . She isn’t really Joy’s lola , or grandma, but she babysits Joy often. Joy loves to help her cook.

It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival! Ming has invited his best friend, Lupita, over to celebrate with his family.

Joy smiles. “Oh! That’s why I call your parents tito and tita . Even though they’re not my uncle and aunt.”

“If it weren’t for Lewis Latimer, people would have spent a lot more money on light bulbs!” Everyone laughs at that.

Talib wonders what other fruit names come from Arabic. “Jeddo, what about lemon and lime ?” “Yes, both words are Arabic,” Jeddo grins.

“This little thing made Thomas Edison’s light bulb stay on for a long time,” explains Cameron. “Really?” his cousin Kevin asks.

Finally, they go to their favorite market. Jeddo looks at his shopping list. “We need apricots and oranges. More Arabic words!” Jeddo says.

Volcanoes

Read about new tools that help tell when an eruption may happen. Then try the science investigations. Volcano Trackers!

give some warning signs before they erupt. But in the past, these signs have been hard to measure. That’s because working near volcanoes is extremely dangerous, and scientists couldn’t get close enough. Now, new technology is helping scientists study volcanoes from far away. High- tech instruments placed near cracks in the earth’s crust can sense gases that could mean magma is moving underground. Before an eruption, the crust

can rise a little, like a balloon filling with air. Scientists have placed devices on rocks to detect these movements. They’re also measuring vibrations that pulse throughout the crust during earthquakes, which are often the first sign that a volcano is coming alive. Information from these sensors

BOOM! Lava bursts high in the air before flowing in hot-red rivers down the mountain. Hot ash shoots into the atmosphere, covering an entire continent like a giant cloud. Thousands of people flee their homes toward safety. When a volcano suddenly comes to life, watch out! Scientists want to learn how to tell when an eruption may be brewing. They hope to develop better warning systems so people can be prepared for the next big boom. Volcanoes do

gives scientists a clearer picture of how volcanoes

behave. Over time, it may help them figure out which volcano could blow next.

Investigation 1

Where do volcanoes form? Model how tectonic plates move to find out.

1. Do Steps 2–7 of the investigation. Model the three ways plates can move. Record your observations in the chart below.

Inside a Volcano

Materials Ì plastic spoon Ì whipped cream Ì wax paper Ì half a graham cracker Ì recording sheet (next page)

What gives a volcano its fiery force? Read these steps to find out. 1 Under the soil is a solid layer of rock called the crust . Under the crust is the mantle , a layer of hot, melted rock. The melted rock itself is called magma .

1. Gather the materials you will need.

Types of boundary

How much magma do you see between the crackers?

2. Put a heaping tablespoon of whipped cream on a sheet of wax paper. Use your spoon to spread the whipped cream into a square the size of a half graham cracker. This is a model of the earth’s mantle . The whipped cream is the melted rock, or magma . 3. Your half graham cracker is your solid rock crust . Carefully break the cracker along the line. 4. Place the two pieces next to each other on top of the whipped cream. Their broken edges should touch. Each piece is a tectonic plate . The place where the two broken pieces match up is a boundary . The plates don’t stay still. They move slowly. You will model three ways they can move. 5. Transform boundary: Slide the crackers past one another, like trains passing on opposite tracks. Can you feel them rubbing together? How much magma (whipped cream) do you see between them? 6. Divergent boundary: Carefully move the crackers back into place. Then slowly push the crackers away from one another. This creates a rift, a separation of plates. How much magma do you see between the crackers? Real magma would harden into new crust. 7. Convergent boundary: Put the crackers side by side again. Push them toward one another. Let one cracker slide underneath the other. How much magma do you see between the crackers? When Earth’s plates do this, the lower plate melts into the hot mantle. It becomes new magma. 8. Think: Volcanoes can form where magma rises through the crust. You just modeled three different ways that can happen at boundaries. Think about which ones brought magma close to the surface. Which kinds of boundaries seem best for making volcanoes?

2 In some places, magma rises from the mantle into the crust. It collects in a magma chamber . As more and more magma rises, the pressure builds. The pressure gets so high, the magma can crack the rock around it.

Transform boundary

3 The pressure pushes magma up through the central vent of a volcano.

4 The volcano erupts! Once magma is outside the volcano, it’s called lava . The eruption may also include hot ash, rocks, and steam.
