Little Friends May Prove to be GREAT Friends!

For letters L & M we read Jerry Pinkney's Caldecott Award Winning book The Lion & The Mouse, a retelling of the famous Aesop Fable. The Caldecott Medal is awarded to books based on their illustrations. Selecting to read Caldecott Medal Books is one way to start selecting books to read with your child. The entire list can be found here as well as lists of other award winners.

I ask my Kindergarten students, does anyone every tell you that you can't do something because you're little? All hands go up to share some of the things they are not allowed to do yet because someone says they are too little. Then you will love this story where we learn  that size does not matter. Other themes of friendship and caring often come up during our discussion.
