What a wonderful new discovery of a book I couldn't believe I did not own! A wonderful parent lent me this book and I was thrilled to present it to a third grade classroom, thank you Mrs. Sheehan for a great opportunity! Thank you as well for sharing your images! Here is a short synopsis:
He's always been a happy little utensil. But lately, he feels like life as a spoon just isn't cutting it. He thinks Fork, Knife, and The Chopsticks all have it so much better than him. But do they? And what do they think about Spoon? A book for all ages, Spoon serves as a gentle reminder to celebrate what makes us each special."
We had some great discussions about the message of the story and all the students understood we all have special skills/traits that makes us unique! I tied this message into a hands on activity where the kids each spent time coming up with 5 things they like about themselves and makes them unique. I was amazed at the examples the students came up with. Examples like such as: "I like my hair color" to "I like my enthusiasm", too cute!
