What educators are saying

Amazing unit on friendship! It was everything I was looking for when teaching these skills. The students loved the fun games and activities!
I used this in the middle of year due to many friendship issues, students lying, and having poor listening. I really love the lesson plans and the fun little games to start the lesson. It created a nice unity with the students and remind them we are a family and we need to continue being kind.

  3. You will save time as the planning is done for you.
  4. Since this is research-based and follows the CASEL framework for SEL, you know that you are covering the most important lessons kids need!
  5. It provides a TON of variety and includes activities that will engage students and help them build important emotional awareness skills.
