I think this would be a great book to share with your class at the beginning of the year so that they understand the importance of having your class become your family and realizing that they can support each other and have a sense of belonging.
pickthis book talks about the importance of community and having support within a classroom. The author shares a story where each student is valued and celebrated in their classrooms for their different contributions.
pickWhile I remember reading this book a long time ago I had forgotten about it and I‘m glad that I revisited it. It is a beautiful story and it discusses a feeling that many children might deal with everyday. I think it gives the reader a sense of reassurance.
