From the book to your conversation

Connect the words of a promise with an everyday choice.

The A Promise I Can Keep worksheet asks readers to explain a word from the Pledge, consider how TJ makes room for another person’s ideas, and choose a small promise for the week. Children can write, draw, or tell their answers to a grown-up.
