The other day a teacher asked me if I knew of any good books for read aloud that focus on empathy. The first thing that came to mind was The Grinch by Dr. Seuss. I immediately thought of this because I had watched it the night before and remember thinking how empathetic Cindy Lou was to the Grinch. This question however, has stayed in my thoughts. I kept thinking how wonderful it was for the teacher to recognize that her class needed some interventions based on being empathetic. I think recognizing student needs is really an important factor in teaching. Many of the lessons we teach each day are not just content based but also social and emotional lessons. Moreover, I am so pleased to know that third grade students are learning such important life skills. Moral and ethical education is so important.

I think read alouds are a great way to integrate (character education, specific Reading skills, even other subjects like Writing, Science, Math, and Social Studies). I feel it is not only a great learning experience, but builds classroom community as well. We are studying mood this week and the hit book was "How Are You Peeling".
