I would like to talk about some great books on kindness today. If you want to become a teacher you will need to know a few different ways to talk to your student's about kindness. It is definitely something worth spreading! :)
Great book for small children first learning about kindness and how they can put it into action.
This book is a New York Times best seller! It also inspired the Choose Kind Movement. It's about a boy who has never been to mainstream school because of a facial deformity, it really teaches all about kindness.
This book talks about how a tiny seed of kindness can grow into a sweet fruit. Great for younger children.
This book is a great reminder to young and old about how we all feel the "fuller" our bucket is. Kindness goes a long way.
Who doesn't enjoy Dr. Seuss?! A great story about one person doing everything they can to be kind and help out others.
The cover says it all! Random Acts of Kindness is a great book that has true stories, quotations, and suggestions to inspire everyone.
A great book for older students, the author shares her own personal stories on how easy it is to spread kindness each and everyday!
In this book, "The Invisible Boy" is the first person to make a new student feel welcome. Making someone feel included is a great way to show kindness!
Kindness to animals is a great thing to learn as a small child as well, this book does a great job of teaching our little ones the do's and don'ts with animals.
This is a great book on kindness! An "ordinary" girl gives her neighbor some blueberries and starts a chain reaction of kindness! One person really can make a difference.
There are so many more books I could post! What's your favorite?
I see we found a few of the same books! These are all great books we can use to emphasize kindness to others. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteThese are some great books to read during read aloud or for students to read independently. I also used a lot of these same books for my blog post on kindness as well. Good job with providing pictures of the cover of each book.
Fantastic list. Great covers. You will use this list!
ReplyDeleteI love this list of books. I think these lists will be beneficial when we are creating our classroom libraries. I especially love Wonder.
ReplyDeleteYou made a great list. I also love your blog layout and colors.
ReplyDeleteWonder is a great book to talk about kindness with students. In a 4th grade classroom the teacher read it aloud to her class and they had great discussions about the book and kindness. Great list!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I really want to read the Invisible Boy. I've been a new student before. I had a good experience but I've seen firsthand how new kids can be treated terribly, especially if they don't look like or talk like every else.
