Character Ed & Picture Books

DeAnne from First Grade and Fabulous is having her wonderful picture book linky again this week.  This week the focus is on pictures books that can be used to teach  character education.  There are literally hundreds and hundreds of books that are great for teaching character ed.

One thing about picture books...they have great themes and lessons to be learned.  As you teach those skills, you can also be teaching your students the same things.

Forgiveness, patience
