The book I am sharing with you all is my absolute favorite. I read this book as a child and it has such an important message for children which is perfect for back to school time.
The book is, “You are Special” by Mac Lucado
UHM….Hello, do you just see all the symbolism happening throughout this book? I can’t believe it either! I am using this book to teach character traits and how we should treat others with respect.
If you follow the yellow brick road, you will remember that I wrote a blog post about character traits and how I use the acronym STEAM to help the kiddoes. One of the books I used was You Are Special.
Once I finish reading the book, I ask the class the following questions…
