Giraffes Can’t Dance

The focus of this book is to help students recognize that they have personal power and can choose to take control of their response to challenges. Everyone is unique! By noticing, naming, and celebrating talents and abilities, we tap into the power of positive thinking and learn to treat each other with respect, tolerance, and sensitivity. Positive personal power prevents us from hurting other people’s feelings and helps us avoid being the victim of hurtful behavior.

In this book, students will learn how:

• to use their positive personal power in a way that benefits both themselves and others.

• the positive actions, words and behaviors we use towards other people makes a big difference in the way they feel about themselves.

• making other people feel good is a great way to fill our own buckets, too!

Please read the parent letter, watch the book narration with your child and have a discussion about this month’s book. We also encourage you to complete the activity to further extend the message and lessons.
