How many students do we know that are “allergic to sitting still”? Well, so is Clementine!  Clementine is an EXTREMELY active third grader that can’t seem to stay out of trouble even though her intentions are truly honorable.  She lives in an apartment with her parents and baby brother, Carrot…or Radish…or Spinach.  She wages war on the pigeons with her dad, pairs up with her best friend Margaret, and is told constantly to PAY ATTENTION!  She IS paying attention.  Students will laugh continuously at Clementine’s crazy antics!

Ideas and Activities:

Have students share things they are afraid of, and think of ways to overcome those fears.
