We began the day reading from the picture book "The Feel Good Book"  Todd Parr with his signature bold colors and positive message,  shows us that happy feelings come many different ways, big and small.   We then used this book as a model for making our own "The Peaceful Book."  The students came up with 4 of their own ideas.  We will take the best one from each student and make our own poster.
