Description of TEACHER'S GUIDE:
The TEACHER'S GUIDE is a 20-page booklet that offers fun, imaginative activities for using with MY FRIEND ISABELLE to explore the concept of difference with preschool, kindergarten, and first grade students. It provides ideas and activities designed to support teachers in creating a classroom environment in which differences are discussed openly, all children are valued, and learning takes place through friendships.
Classroom activities and discussions are drawn directly through the story and present many opportunities to begin building acceptance of differences. Use the book and companion guide in your inclusive classroom to teach children positive ways to relate to one another, forge friendships, and to allow them to shine as individuals. And parents who want these themes discussed at school should give the TEACHER'S PACKAGE to their child's teacher.
