[Ailist] AI & Elementary read

[Jeff Fifield]

Good afternoon,

 

Every year at our elementary school during the month of February we
promote a reading incentive month where our students begin with a
school-wide read of one book that set's the tone/theme for the month.
Last year's example was The Three Questions by Jon Muth (the story is
based on Tolstoy's book of the same title) which was chosen so as to
promote 'finding almost a Zen inner-peace through doing good deeds'
amongst our young students. The illustrations are beautiful and
complimentary.

 

This year, I am wondering if there might be a picture book that might
lend itself to providing an 'Appreciative Inquiry' lens that might be
suitable for your young readers. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff
