This book is geared towards birth-Kindergarten aged children. So I used this book with my Pre-K students at my school. What I like about it is that it covers character traits and brings up good talking points to discuss with the students. I'll also add that when sharing the book with the class, I used the document camera to display on the Smartboard (the book is made for little hands, which I don't have and it was easier for everyone to see the pictures).
After each page, I shared examples of how to show the character traits (kindness, friendship, responsibility, empathy, respect & courage). I then asked the students did they show any of those traits at school or at home (of course they all nod yes). Some students even wanted to share how they showed those traits (I just love hearing those stories)! I loved this book because it allowed me to expose my youngest students to character education (it's never too early).
I have great news to share... one lucky school counselor will receive an autographed copy of the book! To enter for a copy of the book leave a comment below, like my Facebook page and follow me @jyjcounselor at Twitter. Enter by midnight Friday, January 18th. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI would have my middle school students read the book to the preschoolers down the road from us. Pick me! Pick me! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this with my Kindergartners. Especially as a reminder of good manners after Winter Break. Sometimes they forget them so easily when they go home :) Great giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI would love to use this book with my own children. I actually work in a middle school but I do some volunteer work at my child's elementary school. I would love to read it to her class.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year at a Pre-K through four campus, after coming down from a 5th and 6th grade campus. I am looking for resources to use with Pre-K, and this sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for more resources for 4K. I would LOVE to use this book. I use Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun and Juice Box Bully with my 1st-2nd graders.
