About the store
I've taught in a public school over the last twenty years. The grades I taught ranged from Kinder to eighth. My classrooms spanned the gamut from students that were new to the country to students with special needs to students that were identified as Gifted. In recent years I've supported teachers by developing Character and Community Building lessons and guiding these lessons throughout the school year.

Character Building: Taking Positive Risks
Included in this unit are five character building lessons around learning to take positive risks. Students are asked to reflect on their understanding, experiences, and step into challenging scenarios to determine how and why to take risks. There are a total of 20 activities, including group-challenges. Please leave a comment letting me know how I can better meet your needs. A portion of this sale will go to the non-profit, Compassion International.
