Each month, we choose a CW Character Trait inspirational topic as part of our social media outreach with families. This April, in conjunction with our monthly inquiry focus, Build It Up, we selected the trait Cooperation.
Cooperation is a very important quality to instill in growing children. With our month focused on building, construction, and design, cooperation fits very well into lessons and activities that will be occurring in the schools throughout April.
We have put together a list of books, each have meaningful lessons in cooperation. Click here for the full list!
