Author Lori Lite is reading The Affirmation Web to this first grade
class.
These children weave their own affirmation web as they repeat positive
statements made by the animals in the story. This activity empowers children to
believe in themselves and gives them a tool to counteract any negative messages
they receive from the outside or themselves. Children love this self-esteem
boosting activity.
