Bullying is a problem in schools more than it has ever been before. We had a guest speaker come to Mrs. Perry's class last week. Her name is Debra Parrot and she was wonderful. She spoke to us about teaching character traits in the classroom by reading picture books to our students. (Even to the middle school age). Character education teaches our students to become good citizens, which I think is very important. We our teaching our future adults to become good citizens in society and we can achieve this through picture books. Here are a list of books that Mrs. Parrot suggests:
If You Live With the Cherokee
Katie's Trunk
Star of Fear. Star of Hope.
The Gardner
The Boy and the Three-Year Nap
Martin's Big Words
A Picture Book of Anne Frank
How My Parents Learned To Eat
Miss Rumphius
Angelina and Alice
Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon
The Fisherman and His Wife
The Lorax
