BRIEF OVERVIEW: A sweet little piggy is her own best friend! She takes care of herself, and picks herself up when she is down. She is accepting of herself and all her imperfections! She is her own best friend, and she loves it!
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: Have children design a mini-book that is titled “I Like Me,” but with what the children like about themselves on the inside instead! Depending on their grade level, students can write a sentence or phrase about a feature they like about themselves. They will also include an illustration. To add onto the creativity, teachers can attach a picture of the student to the front of the book to keep as a memoir. This will help children be more accepting of themselves in the future.
