Catherine Jones, Purple Sage's librarian, read the book One by Kathryn Otoshi To Ms. Miller's kindergarten class before the holidays. As a follow up activity and to incorporate writing, the students completed this statement, "I can 'take a stand' by saying" and drew a picture to accompany the statement. Then Ms. Jones joined all the students' work into one class Movie Maker video to share.
The focus with One was to encourage kindness and provide students with the tools they need to stand up for themselves and others. This book is a great companion to Wonder which the intermediate grades are reading. Ms. Jones will be collaborating with other teachers using other activities associated with One.
