About this title

Synopsis

Teachers all know students who won't take "No" for an answer, who pester and whine for the things they want, or who get emotional and angry during disagreements with adults and peers. In this companion guide to her picture book,� I Just Don't Like the Sound of NO!, part of the BEST ME I Can Be! series, author Julia Cook has created 24 activities for students in grades K through 6 classrooms that teach the important social skills of how to �€œAccept �€˜No�€™ for an Answer�€� and �€œHow to Disagree Appropriately.�€� In addition to being challenging and entertaining, call upon students to use imagination, teamwork, and creativity to complete them. They also exercise children�€™s observation, reading, writing, thinking, and decision-making skills. Each activity provides a list of materials when needed and teacher instructions. The activity guide also includes a digital content link for access to reproducible handouts, worksheets, and reward coupons. These skills are promoted in� Well-Managed Schools� as part of the� Boys Town Education Model®. 32 pgs. Purchase the Teacher Kit and SAVE! Published by Boys Town Press ISBN: 978-1-934490-27-3

About the Author

With over a million books in print, Julia Cook, a former school counsellor, never dreamed she could evolve into an award-winning children's book author. Several years ago, Julia was searching for an effective story to teach children the difference between tattling and telling. When she couldn't find the right resource, she decided to write her own book, Tattle Tongue. Fast forward several years and she has more than 50 published books and activity guides. Julia takes top research and creativity and translates it into "kid language" that is both entertaining and engaging. Her light, humourous approach keeps kids laughing while they're learning good behaviour skills. The goal behind all of Julia's books and efforts is to actively involve people into her fun and creative stories and teach them to become life-long problem solvers.
