Dear Kindergarteners,
Having a positive and hopeful attitude helps us to overcome challenges. When times are difficult or mistakes are made, it is important to stay motivated and be flexible. Being flexible helps us when we need to cope with changes. Flexibility helps us to think about problems in new, creative ways. This is also a great way to connect and understand growth mind-sets and fixed mind-sets. Being flexible is helpful in developing our true potential.
This week in library we will read: But Excuse Me That is My Book by Lauren Child
In this funny “Charlie and Lola” adventure, Lola insists on going to the library to get her favorite book, the same one she has taken out over and over again. What will happen when she discovers that the book she loves is not on the library shelves? Will Lola be flexible and take an different book from the library shelves?
After reading, But Excuse Me That is My Book, we will gather together in a circle to ask each other and discuss the following questions:
- What things do you like in a book?
- Is it hard to find all the things you like in ONE book?
- What will you do if the book you are looking for is not in the library?
