I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about my frustration with the fact that some students simply appear to lack respect - to their peers, adults, and even themselves. I know that many parents say, "What else can I do? I'm doing everything I can!" I love using books in order to prove a point, so I compiled a list of books that could be used with elementary age children when talking about respect. These are only some of the books I found, there just a ton that could be listed here. I hope you are able to find some that you can use!
