Have you ever done a storybook walk? The Storybook Walk edition of School is More Than a Building was created to make doing your own storybook walk as easy as possible. Illustrations have been set up so that each spread matches up perfectly in the middle and page numbers have been added for easy sorting. In addition, each spread contains activity and movement prompts, such as "Give your neighbor a high 5" or "Pretend you are a planet and spin around 5x!" All you need to do is open the book, CUT on the dotted line, LAMINATE each spread in an 11 x 17 inch pouch, and DISPLAY as wanted.

A great school is so much more than a building... it is a place where children feel accepted for who they are. It is a place where kindness and empathy are commonplace. It is a place where children know and feel that people are there for them and that they are safe and loved.

With its delightful watercolor illustrations of school life, School is More Than a Building paints a positive picture of a school environment where children know and understand that the people who work there care and look out for their best interests. When read aloud, children are reminded that they are part of a very special community and that schools are there for them.

In addition to celebrating schools and everything they do, School is More Than a Building is a great book to generate discussion in your classroom about the many aspects of school life. At KelleyDonner.com/school-is-more-than-a-building you will find lesson plans, bulletin board ideas, activities and more that can be used on a school wide-level, in the classroom, or in your library.
