Album Description
"Of Thee, I Sing" is a book that I would use at the beginning of the school year to build our classroom community. I would read this book aloud and brainstorm with my class afterward to generate ideas about bravery, kindness, respect, creativity, exploration, love, and confidence. The students could then create a poster to illustrate as a community and display in the classroom.
