Classes read The Shark and the Goldfish by Jon Gordon. We focused on Words of the Wiser from Sammy the Shark. This book is focused on positive thinking and includes many thought-provoking positive statements. Students enjoyed writing journals and explaining how different quotes from the book can be applied to their own lives. Students painted positive quotes on rocks (similar to the ones Gordy the Goldfish used). This was one of the students' favorite projects!
