The true abolition of slavery was achieved when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865. The first section of the Amendment declares: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” The Amendment is unique in the Constitution because it bars every person from holding slaves or engaging in other forms of involuntary servitude, whereas most constitutional provisions only constrain or regulate the government. It is unique in another way as well: although the Constitution obliquely acknowledged and accommodated slavery in its original text, the Thirteenth Amendment was the first explicit mention of slavery in the Constitution. The most immediate impact of the Thirteenth Amendment was to end chattel slavery as it was practiced in the southern United States.

Lila loved rainy days. Her big, bright umbrella, covered in rainbow colours, popped open with a whoosh! One drizzly afternoon, she called to her friends, “Come stand under my umbrella!” Tom, who found loud noises tricky, stepped in. “It’s quieter here,” he said. Amira, who loved words, sang, “A shelter bright, it feels just right!” Jake, full of exciting ideas, Rosie, who thought carefully, and Max, who loved to twirl, all joined in. Miss Patel watched them and smiled. “Your umbrella reminds me of the neurodiversity umbrella,” she said. “The what?” asked Lila. “Neurodiversity is a big umbrella term for the different ways people’s brains work,” Miss Patel explained. “Like how Tom prefers quiet, Amira plays with words, Jake’s mind buzzes with ideas, Rosie takes her time, and Max moves in his own way.” “So we all fit under the same umbrella?” asked Jake. “Exactly,” Miss Patel said. “Some people are autistic, some have ADHD, some are great at music or maths, and some find reading tricky. The world is better because we all think and feel differently.” Lila smiled at her colourful umbrella. “That means everyone belongs.” The children huddled closer, happy under their amazing umbrella. The rain kept falling, but they didn’t mind—because under the umbrella, they were all together.

Nelle profondità del Mare di Cristallo, tra coralli scintillanti e pesci colorati, viveva Giorgia, una sirena curiosa e piena di energia. A differenza delle altre sirene, che amavano giocare tra le onde, Giorgia sognava di scoprire i segreti del mare e le meraviglie che si nascondevano oltre la barriera corallina. Un giorno, mentre esplorava una grotta luminosa, trovò una conchiglia dorata che brillava di luce propria. Quando la toccò, sentì una voce sussurrare: "Chi trova questa conchiglia avrà il dono di viaggiare tra i mondi". Giorgia, emozionata, decise di scoprirne il mistero. Guidata da Delfo, il suo amico delfino, Giorgia intraprese un viaggio straordinario tra antichi relitti sommersi, grotte incantate e città di corallo dimenticate. Ma lungo il cammino, dovette affrontare Ondra, il re delle onde capricciose, che voleva impossessarsi della conchiglia magica. Con astuzia e coraggio, Giorgia capì che il vero potere non era nella conchiglia, ma nel suo spirito avventuroso e nella forza dell’amicizia. Così, con l’aiuto dei suoi amici del mare, riuscì a salvare la conchiglia e a riportare la pace nelle profondità marine. Da quel giorno, Giorgia non smise mai di esplorare e raccontare ai suoi amici le sue incredibili avventure, dimostrando che la curiosità e il cuore coraggioso possono trasformare ogni sogno in realtà.

This is Peddy, and she is excited for her first day of school. Peddy kissed her mom and dad goodbye and walked out the door. As she happily sang, she made sure to walk on the side of the road where she could see approaching vehicles. On her way, Peddy saw Ian using his phone while walking and gasped, "Oh no!" She quickly approached Ian and said, "Good morning, Ian! Don’t use your phone while walking; it’s dangerous." Ian quickly put his phone away. "Oh, hi! Thank you for telling me, Peddy. Come on, let’s walk together!" As they continued walking, Peddy noticed white lines painted across the road. "Ian, we should walk on the pedestrian lane. Pedestrian lanes are designed to help us cross the road safely." They were about to cross when Peddy saw a traffic light ahead with three different colors. She stopped at the sidewalk. Ian looked at Peddy in confusion. "Why did you stop, Peddy? Come on! There are no cars anymore; we can cross the road." Peddy shook her head. "No, Ian. The traffic light is green, which means vehicles can go. Red means stop, and yellow means slow down." Ian then noticed the pedestrian signal. "Does the hand palm sign mean we should wait and not cross yet?" Peddy nodded. "Yes! And look, now the walking man signal has lit up. That means we can cross safely. That’s a pedestrian signal!" Ian was about to step forward, but Peddy stopped him again. "Before crossing, we should always follow the Stop, Look, and Listen rule. Stop before stepping onto the road. Look for approaching vehicles. Sometimes you can’t see them, so listen carefully for any nearby cars. If it’s all clear, then we can cross." Ian nodded, understanding the safety rules. Finally, Peddy and Ian walked across the pedestrian lane safely. They greeted the school guard happily, feeling secure and ready for their first day of school.
