What teacher doesn’t love getting new ideas for picture books to use with their students? I’m always scouring bookstores, scholastic, half price books, and rummage sales for new great finds. So here we go, I’m joining my first linky party with firstgradeandfabulous.blogspot.ca. I’m a little late to the party since this is already week 3 of her posts, but this weeks topic is character education.
Here are some of my favorites:
I remember seeing this book for the first time as a kid on reading rainbow. I just love everything about the beautiful illustrations and strong message of caring and compassion.
Don’t forget to check out all of the other great picture books each week over at First Grade and Fabulous! I know I’m getting some fantastic ideas for next school year already.
Ahh, I love Chrysanthemum. It's such a great story! I love it for the beginning of the year too!! Thanks for linking up and sharing your recommendations! ๐

With Bookworm as our Book Fair vendor, I know the selection of books will be high quality in every regard. In fact, I feel confident enough in this to allow our middle school students to count any book purchased at our Book Fairs as part of their summer reading requirement.
