GEN: Books that teach lifeskills

[Karen DeFrank <defrank@voicenet.com>]

Please help my girlfriend. Her school has adopted a curriculum called
Integrated Thematic Instruction, developed by Susan Kovalik and
associates.  One component involves the use of "Lifelong Guidelines" and
"Lifeskills".  My friend is looking for an book that illustrates each
guideline and skill. I think one of the LM_NET members has a list like
this on a webpage, but I don't have it noted anywhere. If you can help
with the web site, or an individual title, that would be great.

Her list so far:

Lifelong Guidelines:
Trustworthiness
Truthfulness
Active Listening (listening with your ears, eyes, and heart)
No put-downs
Personal best
Respect

Lifeskills:
Integrity - _A Birthday for Frances_ or _Why Mosquitos Buzz in People's
Ears_
Initiative - _The Little Red Hen_
Flexibility - _Stellaluna_
Perseverance - _The Little Engine That Could_ or _Mike Mulligan and His
Steam
Shovel_
Organization
Sense of Humor
Effort - _Leo the Late Bloomer_
Common Sense - _The Tale of Peter Rabbit_ or _Amelia Bedelia_
Problem Solving -
Responsibility - _The Cat in the Hat_
Patience - _The Carrot Seed_
Friendship - _Will I Have A Friend?_
Curiousity - _Curious George_
Cooperation - _Swimmy_ or _Another Mouse to Feed_ (by Krauss)
Caring - _Wilford Gordon McDonald Partridge_
Courage - _Madeline's Rescue_ ?? - not sure about this one
Sportsmanship - _The Story About Ping_
Pride

TIA!!
