Last week I posted one of my crayon themed lessons and I'm sharing another one today (sidenote: this book is actually about colored pencils). Once my third graders are done with their lesson on empathy and compassion using The Day the Crayons Quit I introduce a book that talks about friendship qualities. Making Friends is an Art! is my absolute favorite book about friendship. The main lesson of this book is that " To have good friends, you need to be a good friend." The author also points out that "you can't expect the other colors to like you if you don't like yourself." The main character (Brown Pencil) learns that he doesn't have friends because he never laughs, always puts others down, frowns, complains, disagrees, etc...
