Project Cornerstone Corner – September, 2011
The book for Grades 1-5 this month is Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lowell. The focus of this book is to teach children how to stand up to bullying behaviors. Molly Lou models positive self-talk to the other students in the class and shows how positive energy can change negative behavior. Students will be empowered to deal with bully behaviors using the techniques and tools they learned in year 1 of the ABC program:
- Give each other warm fuzzies.
- Don’t take the bait.
- Swim Free.
- Be an UP-stander.
Our Kindergarten students will read Listen and Learn, by Cheri J. Meiners. Listen and Learn teaches children what listening is, how to listen, and why it’s important to listen. The book talks about ways to listen in a positive manner and what to do when someone doesn’t listen to you. Children will learn about listening and what body parts we use to listen (body, eyes and ears).
