    Classroom teachers will be provided with a book which will highlight our PBIS themes. Teachers will embed this book into the social-emotional lessons to encourage the PBIS initiatives. Students will have a chance to bring the book home to read with family members to reinforce the PBIS quality we are highlighting.
     
    Our book of the month for PBIS is "I Wanna Iguana."  Book Synopsis: "Alex just has to convince his mom to let him have an iguana, so he puts his arguments in writing. He promises that she won't have to feed it or clean its cage or even see it if she doesn't want to. Of course Mom imagines life with a six-foot-long iguana eating them out of house and home. Alex's reassurances: It takes fifteen years for an iguana to get that big. I'll be married by then and probably living in my own house. and his mom's replies: How are you going to get a girl to marry you when you own a giant reptile? The story will have kids in hysterics as the negotiations go back and forth through notes. And the lively, imaginative illustrations show their polar opposite dreams of life with an iguana.
