Poor Chrysanthemum! She goes to school filled with self esteem and comes home broken when her classmates tease her about her name.
This Kevin Henkes book is a great back to school read, focusing on character education and how to treat others.
Here are some great, literacy based activities to go with this book:
story elements, character cards
making predictions about what may happen in the story
character analysis
advice for the main character
The class book is a great springboard for students to share their about their own names and how their names are unique and special to them.
This sweet craftivity has students making text-to-self connections and makes a great bulletin board!
