Before Reading Questions:
Look at the cover of the book? What do you notice?
What do you think this story is about?
What do you think the author means by “good thing?” What are some good things?
During Reading Questions:
Pause throughout the story to talk about the illustrations on each page.
After reading Questions:
In what ways are you like the boy in the story?
What “good thing” are you that the boy did not mention?
Where could you find out more about the topic of positive thinking and affirmations?

Activities:
All About Me Worksheet (Practical Thinking/Identifying Relative Information)
This sheet will be combined with the other students in the class to create a booklet about your class. Write about things you like that make you YOU. I made these booklets and barcoded them for check out.

WBES Wildcats Affirmation Station (Creative Thinking/Creating and Designing)
Make a display with a mirror and index cards.
Tell the students that we are making an affirmation display.
Define affirmation - “ An affirmation is a positive statement that can remind you you are worthy, amazing, powerful, and smart (among many other awesome things). “
Look into your own eyes in the mirror. Say aloud “ I am “ and say the first positive thing that comes into your mind. Write this on an index card. You may want to decorate your affirmation, and when you are done with it, you may take some of the colorful tape and find the perfect spot for it on the window. We will fill up the window with positive words and statements about WBES Wildcats!
