This week our first graders enjoyed the book: The Land of Many Colors by the Klamath Co. YMCA Family Preschool. This simple story written by a preschool class about resolving conflicts due to differences provided a great basis for a number of discussions about personal strengths, affirming differences and working as a team. This book worked well to further emphasize Habit #6 Synergize (Together is better) from The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. The beautiful artwork pictured to the left to celebrate the message of this book was created by our talented 1st graders and can be seen outside my classroom door.
