January

The first day of January is New Year's Day. This federal holiday celebrates the beginning of each New Year. People in the U.S. sometimes spend this day watching college football games and parades. On the third Monday in January, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday as a federal holiday. Martin Luther King, Jr. worked to change laws so that all people in the U.S. would be treated fairly. He worked for change in the 1950s and 60s when many states had laws separating black people and white people. Martin Luther King taught people to use peaceful demonstrations to change laws, instead of violence. Many laws were changed because of his work. Many people worked with him in the hope that the U.S. could be a fair country for all people

The Kirkland family went camping in Yosemite National Park in northern California. They 
found a beautiful spot near a stream, and they set up their tent and started a fire. Mr. 
Kirkland left to search for more fire wood. When he returned, he saw his wife and son up 
in a tree. A mother bear was roasting hot dogs over the campfire and a baby cub was sleeping in a sleeping bag. The mother bear roared when she saw Mr. Kirkland.
