Click here to watch: The Invisible Boy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nMaybe you could talk about the following ideas with whomever read this story with you…<\/p>\n
Did you notice something interesting about Brian’s clothes?<\/p>\n
When the children were choosing teams, Brian was left out of the game.<\/p>\n
When the children were eating lunch together, all the children were happily talking about the fun they had at Madison’s birthday party; Brian’s clothes were black and white…<\/p>\n
Do you remember what the book said?\u00a0 Everybody had fun, except for Brian because he wasn’t invited. Do you think that the children could have talked about something different that wouldn’t have made Brian feel left out, or sad?\u00a0 Can you say, “let’s talk about something else now”, if you realize that someone feels left-out?<\/p>\n
Have you ever felt left out of a group?\u00a0 If so, how did that make you feel?\u00a0 Were you able to tell them that it made you feel sad?<\/p>\n
Do you think that you would be able to invite someone to join you, if they look sad or lonely?<\/p>\n
How about when J.T. and the other children were making fun of the food that Justin brought to school?\u00a0 Justin was sad, but Brian made him feel happy again by doing what?\u00a0 If you don’t remember, you can listen to the story again and you’ll find the answer.\u00a0 I know that we have friends in our classrooms that eat Bulgogi, right?\u00a0 I LOVE Bulgogi, it’s yummy, healthy, Korean food!<\/p>\n
Did you notice any changes in Brian’s clothes?\u00a0 How were they changing?\u00a0 Why were his clothes changing colors? Who made Brian feel less invisible?\u00a0 What did Justin do to make him feel less invisible?<\/p>\n
I thought this was a nice story about a quiet boy, who found two new friends, and then he felt happier.\u00a0 Nobody wants to be lonely, right?\u00a0 Let’s try to be kind to everyone.\u00a0 Maybe you’ll make someone happy that they know a kind person like you!\u00a0 It’s wonderful to see children being kind, and reaching out to help another child during school.\u00a0 We are lucky to have lots of kind, helpful children in our classes :).<\/p>\n
