Square Cat

We started our first book on acceptance for the January character development topic of the month. Square Cat by Elizabeth Schoonmaker is about a cat that feels left out because she is a square instead of a circle.  Her friends decide to act compassionately and help square cat find positive things about being a square.  As a class we talked about how to make others feel included.  We then decided if we would want to be a square or circle cat and then made and analyzed a graph of our results.  Finally, we made our own square cat glyphs.  We will also analyze and graph the results of the glyphs. A glyph is when you pick certain colors or shapes for a project based on your response to a question from the book.  In this project the questions were...

Do you like cats?

Would you rather be a circle or square cat?

Do you like donuts?

Is your cat a girl or a boy?

Thanks to Chalk Talk for the idea!
