Each week I will read a Tuttle Twins book and we will complete an age appropriate activity to further explore the emphasis of the week. If you are unfamiliar with the Tuttle Twins series, please see the information below which is taken from their website!

The Tuttle Twins series teaches children foundational principles of a free society, including individual rights, limited government, personal responsibility, and free-market economics. Through books, a cartoon, and curricula, the series emphasizes character virtues like kindness, honesty, and voluntary cooperation (the "Golden Rule") to empower young readers to be independent thinkers.

Key values taught in the Tuttle Twins series include: • Individual Rights & Liberty: Teaching that rights come from nature, not government, and that freedom involves personal responsibility. • Limited Government: Explaining that government should protect rights rather than manage lives, encouraging children to question overreach. • Free Markets & Entrepreneurship: Promoting the benefits of free trade, innovation, and how businesses serve people, often highlighting why cronyism is harmful. • Personal Responsibility: Emphasizing accountability for one’s own actions, work ethic, and choices. • The Golden Rule & Cooperation: Fostering respectful interaction with others, voluntary cooperation, and peaceful coexistence. • Critical Thinking & Sound Money: Encouraging children to think for themselves, understand the value of saving, and learn about the dangers of inflation.
